Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.0.8 Severity: normal Since I don't run other releases of Debian I can't say that the col bug only applies to sid/squeeze. col -bx < typescript >typescript.tmp in previous versions had all of the escape codes cleaned out of it. That's not the case anymore, command runs but fails to change typescript in any noticeable way. This technique for cleaning typescript files generated by the script utility was documented in debian-reference package.
