Bug Description

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealPlayerInstallationMethods lists instructions on how to install RealPlayer by enabling the Medibuntu repository, but RealPlayer is not located in the maverick repository. I am not sure of the reason why RealPlayer is not in the maverick repository, or if there is any intention of placing it there. If not, then the documentation needs to state that it is only available for Hardy thru Lucid via Medibuntu.

realplayer has been removed from medibuntu because upstream offers a .deb to download and install. It won't be added again.
