It aint there either. Maybe i must download the rpm file manually, but this seems weird since i need a deb file.

Any info on this?

Hi . .

First add Backport repository to your sources list
http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories

Then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install realplayer
killall gnome-panel

Go to Applications --> Sound & Video --> Realplayer

In Backport is new version 10.0.4
