Subject: tcsh: Unknown colorls variable `su'

Date: Mon, 14 Nov 2005 15:22:33 +0000

Package: tcsh
Version: 6.14.00-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

I'm using slickedit that uses tcsh, but after a debian update I can't compile using slickedit.
Slickedit uses tcsh and tcsh gives me this error:

fsousa@neptuno:~$ tcsh 
Unknown colorls variable `su'.

Please don't file grave bug reports for non-grave bugs, you may annoy
the maintainer. The Debian tcsh package is obviously not unusable.

1. slickedit should not use tcsh, please see
/usr/share/doc/tcsh/csh-whynot.gz.

2. The above error message does not look like a tcsh bug. What LS_COLORS
environment variable does slickedit pass to tcsh? Did you read what the
tcsh manual page says about LS_COLORS?

Kind regards,

Martin

If I have tcsh installed then I get this error inside slickedit console 
windows:
-------------------------------------------
You can ignore shell warning messages.

Unknown colorls variable `su'.

If I uninstall tcsh then slickedit uses something else, maybe sh but in this 
case I see all ansi codes and the project is compiled.

I didn't read the tcsh manual :(, I never used tcsh before I wasn't aware that 
tcsh was installed on my system. I search the google and I found on this page 
[http://www.sleepdeprived.org/] a patch for fileutils dircolors to prevent 
tcsh and possibly other shells from bombing or complaining on startup due to 
the color code for "doors"

echo $LS_COLORS

Sorry for the "grave" bug report. It was not my intention to annoy you.

this allowed tcsh to run.

Removing the "su=37;41" part in your .tcsh or somewhere else should be
enough, as I read the error message.

Kind regards,

It seems this bug is related to this one
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339406

Where Michael Stone <mstone@debian.org> says:

"tcsh is attempting to parse the variable for its builtin
ls-F function. tcsh shouldn't try to restrict another program's
environment variable."
