So Joey and Manoj are having a `friendly' discussing about the best way to
implement an installer package for realplayer, I wondered how the other
distributions do it.
Now I have not bothered to look because I am to lazy, but my best guess is
that RedHat includes a copy of the Realplayer code

I cannot reproduce this. Works fine for me without that library installed.
You also have to make sure the REALPLAYER_HOME environment
variable is set correctly.
Nor can I reproduce this.

I've played around with my system some more. Here's what I tried:
1. Removed libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 - realplayer kept working
2. Changed REALPLAYER_HOME - realplayer stopped working
3. Corrected REALPLAYER_HOME - realplayer
I checked and REALPLAYER_HOME was set to the G2 directory (from an old
manual installation). I changed it to /usr/lib/RealPlayer7 and
realplayer started working. Then I deleted REALPLAYER_HOME
environmental variable altogether and it still worked. This would
indicate that it isn't required

I would definitely put new realplayer installer package

The realplayer installer package in potato is broken and useless because
Real has, in their infinite wisdom, removed version 6.x of the program from
their download sites now that they have a beta of 7.0. (Bug #60323.)
So the installer can't install anything. The package either needs to be
pulled

I'm tired of dealing with this installer package.
