[Bug 1088131] [NEW] ls --color doesn't recognize an arc archive as an archive

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

When listing the content of a directory with ls --color an arc archive
isn't recognized as an such and isn't displayed with the appropriate
colour. The following terminal output should give an idea:

ubuntu at ubuntu:~/test$ ls
sources.list
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/test$ tar cfz sources.taz sources.list
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/test$ arc a sources.arc sources.list
Creating new archive: sources.arc
Adding file:   sources.list   analyzing, crunched, done. (29%)
ubuntu at ubuntu:~/test$ ls
sources.arc  sources.list  sources.taz

Note that sources.taz would be correctly displayed in red, but not
sources .arc which nevertheless is an archive and should also be
displayed with the same colour. So the $LS_COLORS environment variable
needs to be adjusted accordingly by default (the correct value to add
would probably be "01;31", and arc is absent from the output of
dircolors -p).
