Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.2.ds2-2
Severity: normal

Did an 'aptitude update' and 'aptitude dist-upgrade' followed by a reboot to examine a piece of hardware.  Upon logging in to a gnome session I received an error 'xrdb command not found; X resource not merged.'.  Looked at local filesystem and xrdb was indeed missing.  Version 7.2.ds2-2 of xbase-clients was installed.  'dpkg -L xbase-clients | grep xrdb' came up with one xrdb related file, but it wasn't /usr/bin/xrdb.  I manually installed the same version of xbase-clients using 'dpkg -i' and /usr/bin/xrdb is now installed.

I'm not sure what happened here, but am reporting it none the less.  I see that xbase-clients_7.2.ds2-2_i386.deb does indeed contain xrdb and it is installed properly using dpkg.  It's possible that there was an install problem when xbase-clients was last updated by aptitude.  I don't know.  This bug can probably be closed upon receipt.  I just wanted to note the issue in case it becomes an issue on other systems.

Partial .xsession-errors included showing that xrdb was missing:

Xsession: warning: xrdb command not found; X resources not merged.

It sounds like you installed x11-xserver-utils and then removed it; I'm
closing this bug, because I think that xrdb going missing is the
expected end result here.  Newer versions of xbase-clients depend on
x11-xserver-utils.

Cheers,
Julien
