** Description changed:

  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
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 8.10
  Release:	8.10
  Codename:	intrepid
  
  draco@draco-desktop:~/.ZiK$ dpkg -s x11-common
  Package: x11-common
  Status: install ok installed
  Priority: optional
  Section: x11
  Installed-Size: 748
  Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <ubuntu-devel-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  Architecture: all
  Source: xorg
  Version: 1:7.4~5ubuntu3
  
  Is it possible to include the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt as it lists all the avaible keyword for corresponding color in X11.

  The bug affect several application such as :
  - xcolors (totally broken)
  - giftrans (totally broken)
  - gcolor2 (loosing preferences)
  - git (only in gui mode)
+ - clusterssh
  - netpbm
  - xterm
  - vnc4server (obsolete ?)
  - x3270
  - stage
  - sng (Failed to build from source / FTBFS)
  - old xorg.conf from Hardy or previous version (see RgbPath problems)

  This bugs must have a *medium* importance, not less, as explained in bug report #304567 (mark as duplicate) :
  >  Medium importance is defined as:

  >  In this case this bug falls under "A bug that has a moderate impact on a core application".

  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.

** Tags added: clusterssh netpbm vnc4server x3270
