Subject: neofetch: ASCII art for LMDE a little broken

Date: Fri, 28 Mar 2025 23:48:12 -0400

Package: neofetch
Version: 7.1.0-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

I used neofetch to see the ASCII art for my distribution.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I ran the neofetch command.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The output was good except for a slightly malformed ASCII art
display for LMDE.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected more perfect ASCII art.

Here, let me show you:

The mistkae is on the first line of the output.  The ASCII art starts
at column 1 instead of a little bit further to the right.  Also it has
no colour and should be green.

Here is the faulty section of the neofetch shell script, line 8352:
         ${c2}`.-::---..
The $(c2) doesn't seem to do anything and the text needs to be
indented about 12 spaces.  Here is a possible patch:

         "LMDE"*)

     .+o++::.      `.:oos+.
 ${c1}   :oo:.`             -+oo${c2}:

Thanks, let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
