that is screwed. I can't imagine why realplayer would provide
/usr/bin/X11

first I'd

dpkg -L realplayer to see what all is in that package

secondly I'd probably remove the realplayer package for the moment,
or

dpkg -i --force-overwrite
/var/cache/apt/archives/xfree86-common_4.2.1-6_all.deb


and perhaps file a bug against the realplayer package.
