Package: dict
Version: 1.9.15-1
Severity: normal

When I use the pager less -c, e.g. with

  PAGER="less -c" dict test

the error messages[*] are displayed, but cleared immediately, as the
pager is started. The following combinations should be tested in a
terminal that supports the alternative screen:

  unset LESS
  PAGER="less" dict test
  PAGER="less -c" dict test
  PAGER="less -X" dict test
  PAGER="less -cX" dict test

and make sure that the error messages are always visible in some way.

[*] FYI, these are the following:

dict (client_read_status): Error reading from socket
client_read_status: Success
