Package: procps Version: 2:3.3.9-9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
watch manpage states that -c or --color would enable color support. Testcase: ------------------------------------------------------------ $ watch --color -- grep --color=always 127 /etc/hosts Every 2.0s: grep --color=always 127 /etc/hosts Tue Nov 15 17:52:34 2016 calhost ------------------------------------------------------------ Instead of showing color, the output gets damaged. Running just the grep, the output is as expected with 127 highlighted: ------------------------------------------------------------ $ grep --color=always 127 /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost ------------------------------------------------------------ Bug #830313 seems to be related, but is probably no duplicate (no segfault for me) -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.6 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages procps depends on: ii initscripts 2.88dsf-59 ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u6 ii libncurses5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libncursesw5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii libprocps3 2:3.3.9-9 ii libtinfo5 5.9+20140913-1+b1 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 Versions of packages procps recommends: ii psmisc 22.21-2 procps suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
