Re: RealPlayer and HelixPlauer conflicts

[Chuck Haines <chaines gmail com>]

If you don't need RealPlayer (since you could probably install mplayer
and get the same functionality) simply rpm -e RealPlayer.  Or you
could rpm -e HelixPlayer.  If you removed one of the two it should fix
the problem.  I had this same problem and after removing RealPlayer
up2date worked fine.
