Bug#838132: apt should use a pager for commands that show lots of output

[Felipe Sateler <fsateler@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 1.3~rc4
Severity: wishlist


Commands such as apt list or search would benefit from using a pager.
Using a pager manually results in loss of color and the
no-stable-interface warning...
