This also affects netpbm. Try for example,
ppmlabel -colour green "label" somefile.ppm
and get output
ppmlabel: can't open color names database file named /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt,
/etc/X11/rgb.txt, or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt and Environment variable RGBDEF
not set. Set RGBDEF to the pathname of your rgb.txt file or don't use color
names.
I suspect there may be other affected programs too. x11-common installs a
dangling symlink to /etc/X11/rgb.txt, but according to the changelog in
/usr/share/xorg/changelog.gz the UBUNTU maintainers removed /etc/X11/rgb.txt
because the x server itself no longer needs it.
