rgb.txt is missing

[Chol]

I am using the player robot interface on Ubuntu 8.10 together with the stage simulator, which is included in the package called "stage" 2.0.3-2ubuntu1. When starting robot-player with my robot config file which worked on Ubuntu 8.04, I get a failure message:

err: unable to open color database /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt : No such file or directory (stage.c stg_lookup_color)
Segmentation fault

When I search my HDD for the missing file, I only find a dead symlink /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt which points to a non-existent file /etc/X11/rgb.txt

For making sure that I did not mess up my installation, I booted the 8.10 Live CD and observed that there is also the same dead symlink.

When I copy the rgb.txt from a 8.04 installation to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt, everything works fine.

Bug #20161 seems to be similar, but on 8.10 there is no xrgb package.

can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?

[Alberto Milone (albertomilone)]

can you temporarily remove /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt, restart the xserver and post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old ?

There's no error in the logs. Furthermore X.org doesn't support RgbPath any longer. I think it's a bug in the "stage" package.

See bug #300935 for more information about the side effect.
Removing the rgb.txt file since Intrepid is broking a lots of applications.
I mark this bug as duplicate of the above
Thank you for the report
