Hi That rpm never converted correctly. Here's what you do to get realplayer 7: 1. Go to http://www.real.com/player/ 2. Find the link that says realplayer 7 still available and hit enter on it. 3. Find the link for realplayer 7 basic on that page. It will say that realplayer7 basic is the free player. 4. Fill out the form and download the player 5. Install debian's realplayer installer using apt-get. It will ask you where you downloaded the rpm to. Enter the location and realplayer will install. I'd like to give a direct url to the rpm, but unfortunately I cannot do to the fact you need to fill out a form, and the locations seem to change every now and then. And, that self-extractor does need X to extract. At least it did when I tried it.
