Tried this but it seemed to require a bunch of other packages associated with xfree86 4.0 and I'm running 3.3.6 so I got scared off. maxwell:~/deb# dpkg -i realplayer_8.0.2_i386.deb Selecting previously deselected package realplayer. (Reading database ... 42095 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking realplayer (from realplayer_8.0.2_i386.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of realplayer: realplayer depends on xlibs; however: Package xlibs is not installed. dpkg: error processing realplayer (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: realplayer maxwell:~/deb# apt-get install xlibs Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Package xlibs has no available version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list E: Package xlibs has no installation candidate So I looked at the packages and it is in testing but not stable.
