Leap 16.0 breaks alpine colour mode

Hello all,

I am using alpine (pine) as my email client for at least a dozen of years.
Upgrading the system from Leap 15.6 to Leap 16.0 broke my setup. I can start alpine both in xterm and konsole terminals but I only get the header line. Keys work, so I can quit but besides the header line everything else is black.

Turns out this is due to the .pinerc setting:
color-style=use-termdef
Setting this to
color-style=no-color
allows me to use alpine.

> echo $TERM
xterm-256color
 >echo $COLORTERM
truecolor

Is there a way to get back colours though?

Best regards,

George
