Package: man-db Version: 2.7.2-1 Severity: normal When man invokes /usr/bin/pager to view a man page, it passes the less -s option to squeeze blank lines.
It should probably not do that, because /usr/bin/pager may not be less and may not support the -s option. Would you like a patch to perhaps check if /usr/bin/pager is less, or PAGER is less and only then pass the -s option? Or some other solution? -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers vivid-updates APT policy: (500, 'vivid-updates'), (500, 'vivid-security'), (500, 'vivid'), (100, 'vivid-backports'), (1, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-26-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages man-db depends on: ii bsdmainutils 9.0.6ubuntu1 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.55ubuntu2 ii dpkg 1.18.2 ii groff-base 1.22.3-1 ii libc6 2.21-0ubuntu4 ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-13.1 ii libpipeline1 1.4.0-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu1 man-db recommends no packages.
