msgcat --color=test no longer works

`msgcat --color=test` no longer prints anything. I rely on that package to determine what colors a terminal supports, as does anyone using https://askubuntu.com/a/1044802/1004020 .

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo (development branch)
Release: 21.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

$ apt-cache policy gettext
gettext:
  Installed: 0.21-3ubuntu2
  Candidate: 0.21-3ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 0.21-3ubuntu2 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hirsute/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

It should work and the output should be the same as in 20.10:

$ msgcat --color=test
