    Hi Luca,

    any hope to get this resolved for Trixie? I would owe you a beer.

    With kind regards
    Harri

    Package: iproute2
    Version: 6.13.0-1
    Followup-For: Bug #1088739

    If it's wont-fix I guess the bug might as well be closed, or at least
    denoted as it certainly isn't something we can't work around. That said
    I find the request about as reasonable as it gets, nor are we talking
    about mere matters of taste. On black background, which I still think
    isn't too uncommon, the default is indeed unreadable. Nothing to argue
    about. Then speaking of workarounds, I've been making do with an alias:
    ip='ip -c=never'. Obviously far from optimal, maybe I could play around
    with (another) environment variable that is only to do with colors,
    those too are beginning to pile up. At least why it would have to be
    blue, instead of say bright red, which is perfectly legible, I do not
    quite understand.

    Today's upload of version 6.14.0-1 adds support for the widely used
    NO_COLOR environment variable.

    I've sent some additional patches (to this bug report, and upstream)
    which seem to improve the readability of coloured text in GNOME Terminal
    and xterm with a dark background. Those haven't yet been applied
    anywhere.

    Ben.

    Very nice work, thanks for taking care of it! As soon as Steve/Dave
    merge that series in main-next I'll backport it
