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. ** (process:3643): WARNING **: can't lock memory: Cannot allocate memory WARNING: not using secure memory for passwords SESSION_MANAGER=local/varroa:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3643 ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3705): WARNING **: The system configuration changed - but we remain silent ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3705): WARNING **: Could not execute xrdb -nocpp -merge: Failed to execute child process "xrdb" (No such file or directory) ** (gnome-settings-daemon:3705): WARNING **: Could not execute xrdb -merge: Failed to execute child process "xrdb" (No such file or directory) -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xbase-clients depends on: ii cpp 4:4.2.1-6 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libfs6 2:1.0.0-4 X11 Font Services library ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1 7.0.2-2 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxau6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxkbfile1 1:1.0.4-1 X11 keyboard file manipulation lib ii libxmu6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxmuu1 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous micro-utility li ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxss1 1:1.1.2-1 X11 Screen Saver extension library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii libxtrap6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 event trapping extension libra ii libxtst6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Testing -- Resource extension ii libxv1 1:1.0.3-1 X11 Video extension library ii libxxf86dga1 2:1.0.2-1 X11 Direct Graphics Access extensi ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.0.1-2 X11 XFree86 video mode extension l ii x11-common 1:7.2-5 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-7 compression library - runtime xbase-clients recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
