I have investigated this further and found the following: In /etc/DIR_COLORS and /etc/DIR_COLORS.xterm I have set: ORPHAN 01;05;37;41 # orphaned syminks where 05=blink and others colors. This shows the orphaned syminks as blinking bold white on red backgorund. Otherwise regular symlinks show as cyan. With the latest upgrade and using "ls --color" all symlinks are blinking BUT if I comment this line in DIRCOLORS then the orphaned symlinks show as cyan (no different than non orphaned) except when you do ls -l, in which case only the link target itself shows as blinking, which is correct because I set missing files to blink as well. I am going to attach my DIR_COLORS.
Test case: rm -rf arena mkdir arena cd arena touch file ln -s file symlink /bin/ls --color | cat -vet Actual result: ^[[00m^[[00mfile^[[00m$ ^[[01;05;37;41msymlink^[[00m$ Expected result: ^[[00m^[[00mfile^[[00m$ ^[[00;36msymlink^[[00m$ Should be fixed in coreutils-5.97-12.5.fc6, shortly to appear in updates-testing. Thanks for catching this.
Fixed in update: coreutils-5.97-12.5.fc6
