Re: Uninstalling real player (the "real" answer)

[Chris Kloiber]

Not sure why, but Real has always renamed their rpm files like that. The installed package never has the same name as the package you install. Poor packaging of a proprietary app... Who knows what they are thinking?

Fortunately, RealPlayer has become irrelevant. I haven't needed that in ages.

Yeah, that is precisely what I got.  I installed RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and the
output in the terminal was as follows:
[r...@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/*.rpm RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm

I then ran "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay" I got the following:
realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386

On my fedora 12 I get when I run "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay":
RealPlayer-11.0.2.1744-20091006.i586

I wonder which one is the newest. Mine works OK.
