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

[Chris Kloiber <ckloiber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
