Description:
The pacman option 'Color' is set in /etc/pacman.conf , but pacman shows this message in black-white:
'Warning: /etc/makepkg.conf installed as /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew'

Color is used for warning messages like skipped upgrades and generally speaking color is working.

* pacman version: 4.1.1-1

Probably very low priority.

That message is printed by the backend rather than pacman. Needs to be adjusted to send to a callback instead.

I can't find the commit where this was fixed but it's fixed for me in v4.1.2.

I'd need a screenshot to confirm it was fixed... My suspicion based on the warning not showing as colored for me and that fact I have accepted no patch to fix this indicates it is not!

Ignore me. I can reproduce.

And I lied about it being all backend...
