$ lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release:        22.04

$ apt-cache policy fdisk
fdisk:
  Installed: 2.37.2-4ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2.37.2-4ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2.37.2-4ubuntu3 500

# Expected behavior

`fdisk -l`'s output should have colors other than white and black.
Otherwise, `fdisk --help` should not say that colors are enabled by default.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/385973/524752 says that /etc/terminal-
colors.d/fdisk.scheme should exist, but it is missing from `dpkg-query
-L fdisk | grep /etc/terminal-colors.d/fdisk.scheme`.

# Actual behavior

`fdisk -l` shows a list of partitions without color.

$ fdisk --help | grep color
 -L, --color[=<when>]          colorize output (auto, always or never)
                                 colors are ___enabled___ by default
(emphasis mine)

$ dpkg-query -L fdisk | grep /etc/terminal-colors.d/fdisk.scheme
$ # no output
$ cat /etc/terminal-colors.d/fdisk.scheme
cat: /etc/terminal-colors.d/fdisk.scheme: No such file or directory
