Package: sysstat Version: 11.6.1-1 Severity: serious Justification: global environment variable only used by "sar"
Hi, according to Debian Policy section "Environment variables", programs "must not depend on custom environment variable settings to get reasonable defaults". I believe S_COLORS=auto from /etc/profile.d/sysstat.sh is such a case; Policy even mentions /etc/profile.d as something that shouldn't be used. Please consider moving the setting to a wrapper like mentioned in that section so $S_COLOR doesn't pollute the default shell environment. (On a side note, it's even broken, it only works in login shell environments, not other shells. Making the sar output depend on being called by a login shell is certainly a bug on its own.)
