Something's deleted your /usr/bin/pager. Normally it's a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/pager, which is a symlink to whatever the preferred
pager on your machine is. Run 'update-alternatives --config pager' to
restore it.

It happens to indicate that the program 'man' was trying to run exited
with return code 126 and didn't receive any fatal signal, but the exact
number is not important here.
