I find the dark blue difficult to read (on a black background).

Other small-ish issues:

binutils version 2.45.0.20251103-4 doesn't fit into its column.

Not so small issue:

The version number comparison doesn't know/care about decimal points/fractions
etc., so:
gdb                 	16.3	7.2			### <<<<< RED
because 1 < 7.
and
GNU C               	16	8.1			### <<<<< RED
jfsutils            	1.1.15	1.1.3			### <<<<< RED
Python              	3.13.14	3.9.0			### <<<<< RED
