Public bug reported:
Ubuntu Release:
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Release: 22.04
Source package and version:
dpkg-query -W apt
apt 2.4.9
Binary apt command has support for color output on some commands such as
"apt list <packagename>" Where enabled the default color output is
unbolded green color. This is due to the apt configuration item,
APT::Color::Highlight being set to the default ANSI color code of
"\x1B[32m", Setting it to another ANSI code should alter the apt output.
Expectation:Setting the Highlight configuration option to another ANSI
code should alter the apt output to the specified color code.
$ apt list apt -o apt::color::highlight="\x1b[31m" should set the
highlighted package name to an unbold red color.
What happens:
$ apt list apt -o apt::color::highlight="\x1b[31m"
Listing... Done
\x1b[31mapt/jammy-updates,now 2.4.9 amd64 [installed,automatic]
\x1b[31mapt/jammy-updates 2.4.9 i386
Prepends literal string of \x1b[31m instead of producing colored output.
"\033[31m" doesn't work either.
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
