 |
|
After updating sys-apps/coreutils from 9.4 to 9.5, the output of 'rc-status' became colorless. This was not the case before the update.
I am using foot terminal and wayland. The output of 'ls' and other commands is colored as before.
The values of my environmental variables are (and were before the update):
| Code: | ~ $ printenv TERM
foot
~ $ printenv COLORTERM
truecolor
|
When I do:
| Code: | ~ $ export TERM=xterm-256color
|
, the colors of 'rc-status' output come back.
I have no idea why this might be the case and I would like to know what is going on before I include 'export TERM=xterm-256color' in my .bash_profile.
Does anybody have any idea? |

I suspect there is a missing "COLORTERM" entry in /etc/DIRCOLORS or equivalent.
You can see the upstream support for "foot" etc. at:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/75c9fc674
That's shouldn't have regressed in 9.5, so I suspect a packaging change in gentoo wrt to colors.
You can test the dircolors setup with:
| Code: | | TERM=foot COLORTERM=truecolor dircolors |
You can also add a file to that command line like /etc/DIRCOLORS etc.
as per your system |
