Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
When using man page as a pager, no color is outputted. This is different
from the Stable bookworm version of debian.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
most works fine with color as a pager out of the box. By piping other simple
terminal commands that provide color into most, color is outputted. When
piping
man pages in, or by setting PAGER=most, there is no standard coloring like
there
is in deb 12. I've tested this on multiple devices, and so have others, and
the
result is the same. See:
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1cizn23/colored_man_pages_using_most_pager/
This may also be an issue with the current version of man, more testing
would be
needed to verify.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Color is possible, but doesn't work when acting as the man page Pager.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Colored variables and easier legibility. The same result as using most as a
pager
on bookworm.
