Description Maciej S. Szmigiero 2015-04-04 11:17:44 UTC

x11-terms/xterm should depend on x11-apps/rgb, because without this package installed there are no colors displayed besides black (text in any other color is not displayed on screen).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have no x11-apps/rgb package installed
2. Start xterm 


Actual Results:  
There is <<Cannot allocate color "green">> message at startup and any text printed in non-black color in xterm is not displayed.

Expected Results:  
Text in non-black colors should be displayed.

After emerging x11-apps/rgb everything is fine.

The suggested change would be in Gentoo's ebuild script (not part of upstream xterm sources).  So it should be reassigned appropriately.
