I could just uninstall the Debain package. Will that uninstall
realplayer8 binaries as well?
If the package is done correctly, I assume it would. My advice on realplayer,
though, is *not* to install it at all, but instead to just download the
codecs for it, and use those with your favorite open source player. Much
nicer, and it's actually proved more reliable for me in the past.
Yup, you are right. Uninstalled using dselect and it seems to have
cleanly removed the package and it's config files. Mozilla's
about:plugin shows none for realplayer.
The codecs that you talk of, is there a package to obtain them? I did
"apt-cache search codecs" and did not get anything related to
realplayer. I have these already installed:
~# dpkg -l *codec* | grep ^i
ii libavcodec1 0.4.8-sarge0.0 Library to encode decode multimedia
streams
ii libavcodec1-de 0.4.8-sarge0.0 Library to encode decode multimedia
streams
ii libavcodec2 0.4.9-pre1-sar Library to encode decode multimedia
streams
ii libavcodeccvs 20050409-0sarg library to encode decode multimedia
streams
ii w32codecs 20050216-0.0 win32 binary codecs
