Public bug reported: `msgcat --color=test` no longer prints anything. I rely on that package to determine what colors a terminal supports, as does anyone using https://askubuntu.com/a/1044802/1004020 .
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System
-> About Ubuntu
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch)
Release: 21.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
pkgname' or by checking in Software Center
$ apt-cache policy gettext
gettext:
Installed: 0.21-3ubuntu2

3) What you expected to happen
It should work and the output should be the same as in 20.10:
$ msgcat --color=test
