Bug#343389: x11-common: missing /etc/X11/rgb.txt file

["B. Bogart" <bbogart@ryerson.ca>]

Package: x11-common
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-11
Severity: normal

After upgrading from xfree86 to xorg (sarge w/ unstable packages) my tcl/tk
applications stopped working. It was complaining about X11 colour names,
so I checked and indeed my system has no /etc/X11/rgb.txt file, though

dpkg -L x11-common 

does list it, and the debian package search also
lists it. I did not remove it myself, so it must have been something in
the flurry of installing new unstable packages. 

apt-get install --reinstall x11-common 

does not create the file. 
There does remain a broken symlink to this file:

% file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt: broken symbolic link to `/etc/X11/rgb.txt'
