Hi Colin, First, re-reading my report, I'm afraid that maybe "{" is used as a shell meta-character, or sed meta-character, or something similar. It might be more than just "no output causes problems". I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions so quickly. Second, yes, "less ugly [but still useful]" would be great. I hadn't considered the case of the pager missing entirely. Debugging that without help from man would definitely take extra effort.

The problem with fixing this as you describe ("no output at all") is that it would make it difficult to understand what's going on in the more common case where your configured pager is accidentally not installed. Would you accept a less ugly error message (somehow)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1932084 Title: MANPAGER="grep -F {" man systemd.exec leads to man: command exited with status 1: sed -e ...
