Binary package hint: coreutils
ls --color hangs for directories linked from network resources if those resources are not available
I guess it hangs in trying to validate the link ( have not tried to wait and see if it times out or not )
easily reproducible.
annoying since --color is default

ISSUE:
since ls --color will try to determine if a symlink is broken or not (so that it will be correctly coloured), it *will* timeout on vanished resources.
WORKAROUND:
Inhibit 'ls' from following symlinks (at least in the context of --color):
eval `dircolors -b | sed s/or=[^:]*://`
Add the above to your profile. |
