I can reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 8.10 x86_32.
According to 'apt-file search rgb.txt' no package provides /etc/X11/rgb.txt. There are a few other files named rgb.txt but none seems to be the one we need here.
I'm going to mark the bug as confirmed and let the developers handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! :-) |

this could be two different bugs, but the bug that rgb.txt does not exist is still a bug. There are applications that don't work without an rgb.txt. |

That file has no meaning with xserver 1.5, it's obsolete. Use a better vnc server, vnc4server is obsolete in itself since no one maintains it and it doesn't build anymore. |

Hi,
It seems the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt is not present after the installation of Xubuntu 8.10 x86_64.
More over, the symbolic link /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is also broken as you can see below :
draco@draco-desktop:~$ file /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt

The link is created by the package x11-common, but the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt appears to be included in no package.

Is it possible to include the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt as it lists all the avaible keyword for corresponding color in X11.
Personnaly, I think this bug must have a low-priority because it doesn't seems to have a side effect on the system. |

Changing this back to "Confirmed", since the main part of the problem (the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt (which is apparently required by several older tools and utilities, which are still installable in current releases) is missing on newer installs) has not been fixed. What has been fixed is merely the broken link within the package x11-common.
Even if it is decided that this file no longer belongs in xorg/x11-common (which would legitimate a "Fix Released" for that package), the file should probably be provided by some other package then, shouldn't it?
On a sidenode, it is strange that on my Xubuntu intrepid (upgraded over time since Ubuntu edgy) the file still exists, I have 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 installed (which according to launchpad does not contain the file), and both "dpkg -L x11-common" and "dpkg -S rgb.txt" do list /etc/X11/rgb.txt. |

I corrected the importance to low as it actually satisfies the criteria for non-core applications. I didn't realise that the time how far down this issue went. |

Temporary solution, is to download rgb.txt file and copy it into the folder /etc/X11 by sudo.

UPDATE :
The broken link from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is only an Intrepid problem.
This link wasn't created since Jaunty.
However, the missing file /etc/X11/rgb.txt is still a problem on both Intrepid and Jaunty. |

Hi,
It seems the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt is not present after the installation of Xubuntu 8.10 x86_64.
More over, the symbolic link /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is also broken as you can see below :
draco@draco-desktop:~$ file /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt: broken symbolic link to `/etc/X11/rgb.txt'
The link is created by the package x11-common, but the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt appears to be included in no package.
Here is my configuration :
draco@draco-desktop:~/.ZiK$ lsb_release -a
