Public bug reported:
I recently copied some Solarized XResources into my ~/.Xresources file.
I tested with usual xrdb -merge while testing until I was happy. Several
days later I rebooted into the April 1 packages and had some error
messages:
$ urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base0', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base02', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_red', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_green', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_yellow', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_blue', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_magenta', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_cyan', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base2', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base03', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_orange', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base01', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base00', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base0', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_violet', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base1', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base3', using pink instead.
urxvt: unable to parse color 'S_base1', using pink instead.
To reproduce, you can add just the following lines to your ~/.Xresources:
#define S_base0 #839496
URxvt*foreground: S_base0
Restart Unity. Start a urxvt and watch the standard error of the
terminal you used to start urxvt. Note the horrible pink.
Run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources and then start another urxvt. Note no
errors and no horrible pink.
Somehow, the Unity-started mechanism for reading the Xresources didn't
properly handle the #define statements. Perhaps Unity accidentally used
the -nocpp option to xrdb?
