Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 2:1.1.1-7
Severity: normal
in my debian, the X colour db is installed by x11-common, in two places,
the traditional one, /etx/X11, and the new standard, /usr/share/X11
i'm used to increment the colour db with italian names and other things
and until recently (less than a week) all worked as intended
now X does not recognize anymore these "italian colours", afaict
(i strace'd Xorg binary) because it's unable to find rgb.txt
here it is a simple test case:
------------------------------------------------------------ START -----
- 1 from the console type ----------------------------------------------
$ sudo echo " 230 230 230 grigiochiaro" >> /etc/X11/rgb.txt
- 2 start X as usual, e.g., --------------------------------------------
$ startx
- 3 from an xterm, type ------------------------------------------------
$ xsetroot -solid grigiochiaro
- 4 read the error message ---------------------------------------------
xsetroot: unknown color "grigiochiaro"
------------------------------------------------------------ END -------
btw, the server binary contains a copy of the colour db, so it knows
about rosybrown and chartreuse even if no rgb.txt is available to it,
shadowing the problem to 99.994% of the user base...
thank you

This bug has been marked as "wontfix" for a while, and I don't think it
is worth keeping it open. So as part of cleaning the BTS, I am just
closing it.
Cheers
