Public bug reported:
The `share/dot.bashrc` file checks like this whether to enable
`color_prompt`:
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac
Nowaways, most terminals support 256 colors (instead of 8 like xterm-
color). Their $TERM will usually be something like `xterm-256color`.
Accordingly, this check was modified in the `skel`-package
`/etc/skel/.bashrc` like this:
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac
I would suggest the same modification be done in the base-files .bashrc.
