(Get the code!)
I fixed this easily enough by copying the file, but since I administer something like 20 machines, it's a pain to have to make sure all my machines have an rgb.txt.
I just have one additional question (please don't read this as being a negative tone):
I don't understand why this can't simply be included back in x11-common on Intrepid and a new x11-common package be put in intrepid-updates. Adding a simple file back in that WAS in Hardy seems to take a couple of minutes and doesn't require any testing.
Seriously, I'm not trying to be a pain in the ass. I really would like to know why the package maintainers have decided that because xserver 1.5 no longer uses rgb.txt, that it needs to be taken out of the package completely. I am also using a program (not vnc4server) that requires rgb.txt to run. Simply saying that rgb.txt is no longer used by xserver 1.5 is NOT a reasonable answer, as any OS upgrade needs to be able to handle legacy code.
