Binary package hint: xterm

Hello,
The file rgb.txt does not seems to exist in Ubuntu 8.10.
When starting xterm on Ubuntu 8.10 I see the following warnings:

Warning: Color name "black" is not defined
Warning: Color name "gray60" is not defined
Warning: Cannot convert arguments to displayList function "foreground"
Warning: Cannot convert string "foreground gray90;lines 1,-1,-1,-1,-1,1;foreground gray60;lines -1,0,0,0,0,-1" to type XawDisplayList

Then doing a search for rgb.txt

 ls -al `sudo find / -name rgb.txt`

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-11-02 00:21 /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt -> /etc/X11/rgb.txt

By doing the search above should have resulted in the actual file and not just only the symbolic link:

ls -al /etc/X11/rgb.txt
ls: cannot access /etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory

Having obtained a copy of rgb.txt from the Internet, and placing it in /etc/X11/rgb.txt location
stops these xterm warnings appearing.

The workaround therefore is to obtain the rgb.txt and to place it in the /etc/X11/ directory.
