Some days ago, I installed coreutils 5.93-3 as exp. package.
After upgrading to base-files-3.7-1, I reinstalled coreutils-5.93-3 but I discovered that /etc/DIR_COLORS was that of base-files-3.6-1 and not 3.7-1. (and the command 'cygcheck -c coreutils base-files' said 'OK') So after many tries I reinstalled: base-files-3.6-1 coreutils-5.3.0-9 basefile-3.7-1 coreutils-5.93-3 After this, /etc/DIR_COLORS was that of 3.7-1! Now having alias ls='ls --color --show-control-chars' (I have tried also alias ls='ls --color=auto') never is changed in diplaying the colors, i.e. the directory with all permission drwxrwxrwx+ 4 Administrator Administrators 0 Jan 12 21:47 home is displayed blue on green background. Is this the default behaviour of /etc/DIR_COLORS ?
