Although this has been fixed in Karmic (it'sin x11-common), it's still
missing in Jaunty. Can we get an update to x11-common on Jaunty that
includes this 17K file?

I echo the sentiment previously expressed: this should be fixed in
previous versions of Ubuntu like Jaunty and Intrepid. It's not hard to
do; what's the hold up?

Using 9.04 with all updates, on i386 and amd64.
I confirm the issue also affects tightvncserver (v1.3.9, there is a
v1.3.10 but it does not seem to include its own /etc/X11/rgb.txt).
This missing file is causing a lot of cascading side effects (like lots
of X apps not working when the X server

I ran into this problem myself while trying to figure out why gcolor2 is
missing all of its preset colors. While running an strace on it I
noticed it's looking for this rgb.txt which doesn't exist.

FWIW, the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt does exist (and gcolor2 shows the pre-
defined colors properly) on my cleanly install ubuntu jaunty system
(didnt check with live CD though). Also, if I run dpkg -S
/etc/X11/rgb.txt it says that this file has been installed on my system
by the x11-common package.

Sorry I wrong. I ran those commands in a ssh terminal which was logged
into a machine that has been upgraded since gutsy. I checked again on my
cleanly installed jaunty box and there I don't have the file anywhere in
/usr and not under /etc either, despite having x11-common and gcolor2
installed.
To me it sounds like gcolor2 should just ship it's own copy in a file
called /usr/share/gcolor2/predefined_colors.txt or similar? The gcolor2
package hasn't been modified in ubuntu since 2006 and 0.4 is still the
latest upstream release, so I think you should just prepare a debdiff

As I mentioned earlier, IMHO trying to fix every single package that requires
rgb.txt by supplying each of these packages with a standalone copy of said file
would be a pretty...strange solution to the problem.
rgb.txt is the *definition* of a shared file, so all that is required is a
place and
Bug #358678 indeed seems to have the same root cause. Here's something
interesting. Before the workaround I had this:
$ locate rgb.txt
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/emacs/22.2/etc/rgb.txt
$ ls -l /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2009-04-27 17:57
Bug #358678 , which IMHO is a duplicate of this one, has some more
information related to problems invoking emacs (and other applications,
see above) under NX from NoMachine (nxserver) and FreeNX.
