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.
Maybe caused by the fact that xbase-clients has been split into several
x11-* packages (x11-xserver-utils now contains xrdb). xbase-clients is
now a dummy package depending on all the other ones (in unstable). Maybe
you installed some of this split and then partially removed/reverted
some stuff ? Looking at /var/log/dpkg.log or /var/log/aptitude and
searching x11- or xbase-clients might help find out what happened.
