Comment 29 for bug 300935

Mr Richard Seguin,
First of all, thank you for the interrest you are according to this bug.
I don't really know where is the frontier between core-application and non-core application, but you said yourself in this comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xcolors/+bug/304567/comments/6 that the bug have a moderate impact on a core application.

I think that xcolors and xterm are part of core application.
Most of all, there is a discrepancy between the content and the dependencies of the xcolors and x11-common package.
Let me explain :

draco@23:17:51 [0] <0>:~$ apt-cache rdepends xcolors
xcolors
Reverse Depends:
  x11-common

The package xcolors is needed by x11-common, but the xcolors application is totaly broken since the file rgb.txt has been removed from x11-common.

A solution may be to include the rgb.txt file into the xcolors package (I was understanding the program is "just" interpreting those file !)
