first of all, this seems to be related with http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-04/msg00008.html and could be already fixed. anyway: I'm using Slackware-current and with ls (GNU coreutils) 6.7 broken symlinks are colored in cyan instead of red. what baffles me even more, though, is that they are colored right with ls -l. any ideas?
Yes. Try 6.9, seems to be fixed. :-)IIRC, the "why" is because readlink() is (was) not called for a short listing, so 'ls' doesn't (didn't) know if the symlink is valid or not.
