This happens when the webserver/browser thinks that "rpm" means Realaudio 
Plugin Module. Konqueror will try to load it in the Realplayer plugin.

Go into Konqueror's settings. Under "File Associations", do a search for 
'rpm'. Remove rpm from the list of Realaudio file extensions. The only MIME 
type that should be associated with rpm is "application/x-rpm".
