No such file, neither on my (olden) Suse nor on a more recent Debian.

You may want to use one of
  xcb -p 0
...if the program in question supports the (long depreciated) cut buffer,
or (need to download, compile, install)
  cutsel -selection PRIMARY sel
or  (again, download, compile, install)
  xcopy -r
The latter two use the primary selection.

These solutions should work on everything using X11.
And so should the good old mouse copy & paste!
