Re: pager changed after upgrade from woody to sarge:
Thomas,
as root, i ran:
update-alternatives --config pager
here is the output:
There are 4 alternatives which provide `pager'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /bin/more
*+ 2 /usr/bin/less
3 /usr/bin/most
4 /usr/bin/w3m
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection
number: 2
Using `/usr/bin/less' to provide `pager'.
unfortunately, this did not fix my problem. looks like
less is already my default pager; i do not override
this in ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc.
