Removed the following packages from unstable:
realplayer | 8.0.6 | source, i386
------------------- Reason -------------------
purged by RM; see bugs 132528 143626 150806

You can tell by the "dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/" in that Filename:
field that it's not an official package; the filenames of packages in
the Debian archive always start with "pool/" (with the exception of a
few packages still in "dists/potato/").
