Package: apt
Version: 2.2.4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The apt command shows colors on monochrome terminals (even on a dumb terminal),
please avoid this. Included is a patch which i believe will solve the problem
and only allows output on terminals which actually have 'color' in them; the
same logic as to when to color the default bash prompt.
I have not tested this patch.
Kind regards,
Axel
