Package: gzip Version: 1.6-4 Severity: normal File: /bin/zgrep zgrep appears to capture and process the output of grep, rather than sending it directly to the terminal, so zgrep --color=auto does not work. zgrep --color=always does work, but that would break cases where zgrep's output doesn't go to a terminal.
One possible fix would be to look for --color=auto and handle that internally to zgrep, by checking [ -t 1 ] (stdout goes to a terminal) and passing --color=always to grep if so. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gzip depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.1 ii install-info 6.0.0.dfsg.1-3 ii libc6 2.19-19 gzip recommends no packages.
