First, thank you for your answer !

As you say, I try to reinstall the package.
But as expected, only the link is replaced and no regular file is created.

You can see below the ls command view of the /usr/share/X11 directory :

draco@draco-desktop:/usr/share/X11$ ll

The file /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is not a regular file, permission is lrwxrwxrwx.
It is a link to /etc/X11/rgb.txt that is missing, and it seems that no package avaible in the standard Xubuntu 8.10 release could install it.
