Comment 24 for bug 300935

Changing this back to "Confirmed", since the main part of the problem (the file /etc/X11/rgb.txt (which is apparently required by several older tools and utilities, which are still installable in current releases) is missing on newer installs) has not been fixed. What has been fixed is merely the broken link within the package x11-common.

Even if it is decided that this file no longer belongs in xorg/x11-common (which would legitimate a "Fix Released" for that package), the file should probably be provided by some other package then, shouldn't it?

On a sidenode, it is strange that on my Xubuntu intrepid (upgraded over time since Ubuntu edgy) the file still exists, I have 1:7.4~5ubuntu3 installed (which according to launchpad does not contain the file), and both "dpkg -L x11-common" and "dpkg -S rgb.txt" do list /etc/X11/rgb.txt.
