Anybody got any idea why the realplayer insist on installing sendmail as
well? Is it a rootkit, intending to turn me into a spam-node?

Thanks for calling attention,
perhaps it would be funny to hear an answer from the Real customer
support, http://real-de.custhelp.com/app/ask .
Btw. do you need realplayer or did you just test it ;)?
Indeed, creepy.
OT: I wonder what will ship with the German "Ausweis App" (RFID
identity card application) for Linux ;).

I need to get rid of Totem which is borked beyond recognition here ..
Indeed, creepy.
It is the same with GoogleEarth (which will also install 'ed' as an
automation convenience for spammers?)

What's wrong with 'ed'? You won't find a more advanced editor in just
37k linked only against libc. It's as essential as 'sed' or 'grep'
(and
to certain extend 'awk' and 'perl') to any un*x system.
It's just a text-editor anyway, not a system-service - like sendmail.
Half of the services on linuxaudio.org would not be what they are
without 'ed'. love it.

May I ask which distribution is that?
gstreamer can work OK, but it's easy to screw up with the plugins being
separated in lots of sub-packages..
Personally I stick mostly with [g]mplayer and ff[mpeg|play].

see for yourself: `apt-cache show rfdump` - works fine to read those.
Cheers!

I wouldn't want GoogleEarth to run half the services from linuxaudio on
my machine .. Not even one!

Earlier, Ed was needed in a Linux system (if I recall right), but today it may
be needed by some programs to patch files - again if I recall it right.
Ed can be used interactive and by scripts in order to alter text files, but
personally, I have never used it directly for anything.

it's realplayer's way of telling you that _you_ don't need realplayer.
honestly, there are metric tons of great players out there, why this one?

Or maybe than big brother want to turn you into a little brother
node :)
The realplayer and its codecs have constant security issues.
Hopefully, here on gentoo, it have been removed from portage a while
ago -:) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-713051.html.
Recent mplayer versions will just be fine instead.
Ciao,
Dominique
