I am using realplayer8 with trplayer, which allows it to work easily in a non-graphical environment. However, apt-get keeps wanting to have me upgrade using the realplayer installer. If I say "yes" dpkg-configure returns an error code 1 and my working installation of realplayer has to be installed with the .deb package I am using. If I say "no", it still has apparently done something to the installation, because the next time I use trplayer/realplayer I get errors about realplayer8/common/rmacore.so.6.0: cannot open shared object files:no such file or directory". Can I either fix this so the installer will work or put a hold on this package so my installation won't keep getting undone? I wouldn't mind downloading the appropriate realplayer package and letting the installer install it, but it never even gets as far as asking me what directory the realplayer file is in. I've tried purging both trplayer and realplayer (which the system will do) and then running the installer, but it still returns error code 1.
The exact error message I get when running apt-get is: dpkg: error processing realplayer (--configure) subprocess postinstallation script returned error exit status 1 errors where encountered while processing: realplayer e: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1). This happens after I've been asked twice whether or not i want to run the installer but have not been asked for a location of the package. Thanks. Cheryl
