Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-5.3
Severity: normal

The list of acceptable colorizable (not-a-word) terminals in dircolors.h is 
very limited. It does not recognize xterm-256color which is a termcap available 
in 
ncurses-term. Why can't dircolors test tput colors for something greater than 
8? 

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $TERM
xterm-256color
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tput colors
256
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dircolors
LS_COLORS='';
export LS_COLORS
