Hello list, Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=491010 registers the fact that specifying -nocolor to localepurge causes it to stop, and a diff is included to fix the problem. But that was 16 months ago, no-one's done anything since and the fault is still present.
I haven't done any patching of ebuilds before, so I have some learning to do. Meanwhile, does anyone here have a ready fix? -- Rgds Peter.
