RealPlayer bug fix update

Advisory:	RHBA-2009:1003-1
Type:	Bug Fix Advisory
Severity:	N/A

OVAL:	N/A

Details

An updated RealPlayer package that fixes an upgrade conflict is now available.

RealPlayer is a media player that provides media playback locally and via
streaming.

This updated RealPlayer package fixes a conflict between RealPlayer from
the Extras channel and Helix Player, which is installed when performing a
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 "everything" install. In this case, RealPlayer
obsoleted Helix Player and led to a situation in which using up2date failed
with a transaction error.

All users of RealPlayer are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves this issue.
