Looks like you should have been root? Oh,well, water under the bridge
now.

Since the RPM database is now confused, you have to force it to
install. Just type rpm -ivh --force RealPlayer-7_0-1_i386.rpm
(or Uvh whatever you prefer) and it should install it for you.
BTW, where is everyone getting these RPM's for RP7? The Real page I
went to only had the rp7install.bin archive, with no reference to RPMs.
Doesn't really matter, since the bin installed fine...
