Description Peter Vrabec 2008-06-04 16:05:04 UTC

Description of problem:
'ls' command should colorize the files with capabilities like it does for setuid
programs.

#setcap cap_net_bind_service=ep test.log
#getcap test.log
test.log = cap_net_bind_service+ep
#ls

Patch done by Kamil Dudka, proposed upstream, waiting for reaction. You could
monitor it on the thread

This bug has caused a regression which renders tcsh unusable.

With the pushing of coreutils-6.10-28.fc9.i386, instances of tcsh now fail early
in their init scripting (before getting to the user ~/.tcshrc file) with the error:

  Unknown colorls variable `ca'.

So at the moment all of my command-line work has been broken badly by this
cosmetic update.

Backing out to coreutils-6.10-27.fc9.i386 fixes the problem.

This does not happen with bash.  Can one of the proponents of this bug please
try firing up tcsh to see what didn't get correspondingly updated somewhere in
the /etc area?

Thanks for your report.

This bug is already reported (including patch) against tcsh as #457342. There 
is also a workaround - clearing LS_COLORS variable should help to start tcsh.

I am sorry for inconveniences.
