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 : dr...@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 !) -- missing "/etc/X11/rgb.txt" file and broken link to it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
