I checked and REALPLAYER_HOME was set to the G2 directory (from an old

realplayer started working. Then I deleted REALPLAYER_HOME

One of the minor annoyances in Debian is the prompting that goes on
during package upgrades. It's not the fact that the prompting
occurs... I like the fact that it doesn't silently redo the system

there's another thing about apt-get which IMHO should be changed (if this
