Yeah, that is precisely what I got.  I installed RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm and the 
output in the terminal was as follows:
[root at localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh 
/var/cache/yum/x86_64/13/fedora/packages/*.rpm RealPlayer11GOLD.rpm 
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]

   2:alsa-lib               ########################################### [ 67%]
   3:realplay               ########################################### [100%]
postinst called with unknown argument `1'
warning: %post(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

I then ran "rpm -qa | grep -i realplay" I got the following: 
realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386

which lines up with the output from RPM.  So then I ran "rpm -e realplay"  
The result was as follows:
[root at localhost Downloads]# rpm -e realplay
prerm called with unknown argument `0'
error: %preun(realplay-11.0.2.1744-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

So, I ran "rpm -e --noscripts realplay" and now realplay is off my system :)
