Package: iproute2 Version: 6.13.0-1 Followup-For: Bug #1088739 If it's wont-fix I guess the bug might as well be closed, or at least denoted as it certainly isn't something we can't work around. That said I find the request about as reasonable as it gets, nor are we talking about mere matters of taste. On black background, which I still think isn't too uncommon, the default is indeed unreadable. Nothing to argue about. Then speaking of workarounds, I've been making do with an alias: ip='ip -c=never'. Obviously far from optimal, maybe I could play around with (another) environment variable that is only to do with colors, those too are beginning to pile up. At least why it would have to be blue, instead of say bright red, which is perfectly legible, I do not quite understand.
