The general bug is that not even sensible-pager implements $PAGER as a pipeline, and thus it seems to me that we systemically don't support this facility. If we want to support that, we're talking about changes to more than just man-db; I expect there are packages other than sensible-utils and man-db that have problems. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
