Subject: coreutils: Bug in dircolors C-shell output

Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2005 09:41:58 +0800

Package: coreutils
Version: 5.93-2
Severity: normal

There appears to be a bug the C-shell output option of the "dircolors"
utility. This can be seen in the following shell session extract (line
breaks may have been reformatted by the webmail service):

# ---BEGIN TCSH SHELL SESSION
aldebaran:~> eval `dircolors -c`
Unknown colorls variable `su'.
aldebaran:~> dircolors -c

The culprit appears to be the sequence

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

reopen 339406
severity 339406 normal
thanks

tcsh should not rely on dircolors not being set, and it should 
especially not barf on something it doesn't recognize.

My mistake - sorry. I didn't realize this was already assigned to tcsh, 
and I thought I was reopening another bug on the same issue.
