Hello Sam,

After you install an rpm file, when doing queries, you need
to give the package NAME, not the rpm file name.

You can use the rpm file to tell you the package name,

$ rpm -qip RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm

The first thing listed is the package NAME (RealPlayer)

Verify this package is installed,

$ rpm -q RealPlayer
RealPlayer-10.0.4.750-20050401

To uninstall RealPlayer (as root), use the package name
not the file name:

# rpm -e RealPlayer

Then you can reinstall

# rpm -Uvh RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm

That ought to do it.
