> coreutils 6.10-6 The GNU core utilities Wow, that's old. The latest stable version is 8.2. I'm not reproducing your behavior, whether I tested with 7.0 or the latest git. It looks like ls is misinterpreting the 'ln=target' portion of LS_COLORS, and trying to treat the last 5 characters as literal bytes to output for the color sequence rather than treating the whole directive as a command to swap the coloring rules over to following through the symlink. I didn't see anything in the NEWS that specifically mentions a change in that area, but I may have overlooked something. But rest assured that your filesystem was not altered - the spurious 'arget' in the listing comes from a bad attempt at outputting a color code, not from a changed name. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
