[Bug 103929] Re: Bash prompt string looks for xterm-color, gnome terminal identifies as xterm

[Omer F. USTA]

This must solve the problem i think. Instead of asking user about color prompt
i think we must ask them for non-colored prompt.
The patch is added

Title:
  Bash prompt string looks for xterm-color, gnome terminal identifies as
  xterm

Status in “bash” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bash

  Gnome-terminal, the default ubuntu terminal, supports color.  It
  identifies itself as "xterm".  Our skel files looks for "xterm-color".
  This should be updated to reflect "xterm" instead of "xterm-color".
