It might if I didn't have so many different installations scattered about and multiple aliases to create. Better to suffer horri-colors until an Apt config that works can be found. In openSUSE we have Zypper as wrapper around rpm more or less the way apt works with dpkg. Color on/off in Zypper is easy to deal with because of integrated comments that work so much better than virtually empty config directories, e.g.: ... ## Whether to use colors ## ## Valid values: always, never, or autodetect ## Default value: autodetect ## useColors = never ... -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
