If the output does not fit into the window the pager will page it, and you will navigate inside the pager. If you do anything other than scroll down and then quit (using q or whatever mechanism), the scrollbar of the terminal window will have limited use, as it will show a crude view of the actions you took and stuff you displayed inside the pager, which involves skipping ... lines as well as duplicated lines if you scroll back.
Please note there is no difference on the apt side, the output is the same in both cases, it is the pager that is then paging it, apt is always piping to the pager. And yes sure it points to the alternative, it's more a question of what that points too, it seems to be less, judging from the skipping lines. In any case I fail to see anything wrong here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2092635 Title: apt show loops displaying same text multiple times Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Entering 'apt show nautilus' the text about nautilus are repeated many times corrado@corrado-n6-pp-1217:~$ apt show nautilus Package: nautilus Version: 1:47.1-1ubuntu1 Priority: optional Section: gnome Origin: Ubuntu Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers <ubuntu-devel-disc...@lists.ubuntu.com> Original-Maintainer: Debian GNOME Maintainers <pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org> Bugs: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug Installed-Size: 1,882 kB Depends: bubblewrap, desktop-file-utils (>= 0.7), eject, gsettings-desktop-schemas (>= 3.8.0), gvfs (>= 1.3.2), libglib2.0-data, libnautilus-extension4 (= 1:47.1-1ubuntu1), nautilus-data (= 1:47.1-1ubuntu1), shared-mime-info (>= 0.50), tracker (>= 3), tracker-miner-fs (>= 3), tracker-extract (>= 3), xdg-user-dirs-gtk, libadwaita-1-0 (>= 1.6~beta), libc6 (>= 2.38), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libdbusmenu-glib4 (>= 0.4.2), libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 (>= 2.25.2), libgexiv2-2 (>= 0.14.2), libglib2.0-0t64 (>= 2.80.0), libgnome-autoar-0-0 (>= 0.4.4), libgnome-desktop-4-2t64 (>= 43~), libgraphene-1.0-0 (>= 1.5.4), libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 (>= 1.0.0), libgstreamer1.0-0 (>= 1.0.0), libgtk-4-1 (>= 4.15.2), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.42), libportal-gtk4-1 (>= 0.7), libportal1 (>= 0.7), libselinux1 (>= 3.1~), libtracker-sparql-3.0-0 (>= 3.1.1), libunity9 (>= 3.4.6), libwayland-client0 (>= 1.20.0), libx11-6 Recommends: gvfs-backends, libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin, librsvg2-common, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome Suggests: evince | pdf-viewer, gnome-sushi, totem | mp3-decoder Breaks: eiciel (<< 0.9.13.1-1.1~), folder-color (<< 0.0.86-0ubuntu5~), gedit (<< 40), nautilus-dropbox (<< 2019.02.14-1ubuntu2~), nautilus-extension-brasero (<< 3.12.3-2), nautilus-extension-burner (<< 3.0.10-1.2), nautilus-extension-gnome-console (<< 43), nautilus-filename-repairer (<< 0.2.0-3.1~), nautilus-font-manager (<< 0.8.8-2), nautilus-gtkhash (<< 1.4+git20220617-2.1~), nautilus-ideviceinfo (<< 0.1.0-0ubuntu15~), nautilus-image-converter (<< 0.3.1~git20110416-2.1~), nautilus-share (<< 0.7.3-2ubuntu7~), nautilus-wipe (<< 0.3.1-2.1~), seahorse-nautilus (<< 3.11.92-4.1~), totem (<< 3.31.91-1), unity (<< 7.5.1+21.10.20210601.1-0ubuntu1) :...skipping...
