Description

This bug was reported a few years ago for gNewSense: http://bugs.gnewsense.org/Bugs/00100

Has this changed since 2007? If not, Helix should be removed from the repos, since a program that recommends proprietary software can not be packaged with a free distro. If the Realplayer recommendation no longer exists inside of Helix, please close this issue.

No.

It was never in our repos.

Well, it's still listed in my Add/Remove Applications tool for some odd reason (although installation doesn't work).

Then we will need to fix that.
