Bug Description

Binary package hint: realplayer

When typing:

apt-get install realplayer

I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  realplayer: Depends: xlibs but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

 What should the sources.list entry for dapper-commercial look like?

What's the output from ``apt-cache policy realplayer''?

This wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RealplayerInstallationMethods
indicates that the best way to install realplayer is not through apt but
just by using the .deb file from the Debian-Marillat repo, is that correct?
