I tried the woody installer on a potato system. It installed
realplayer, but it doesn't seem to work. No messages or core
dump--nothing happens. I also tried installing the tarball and
installing the .deb created by running alien on the .rpm, with the same
results, so it would appear that the installer is not the problem.
On the other hand, the old realplayer worked just fine for me in
potato. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any way to get it
back.
