Investigation:

coreutils installs /usr/bin/dircolors

Blfs ch3.5 "Bash Shell Startup Files"
creates /etc/dircolors using
/usr/bin/dircolors -p > /etc/dircolors

$HOME/.dircolors might exist if user put it there.

A user *might* modify /etc/dircolors or $HOME/.dircolors to get custom
highlighting.

Try:
dircolors -p > tmp-dircolors
diff -u tmp-dircolors /etc/dircolors

If any output (e.g., not exactly the same) then /etc/dircolors needs
to be made sane, possibly by re-doing the step from blfs ch3.5 above.

If $HOME/.dircolors exists, try:
dircolors -b tmp-dircolors

If that cannot work properly, then $HOME/.dircolors needs to be made
sane or renamed, or deleted.
