[Bug 1932084] Re: MANPAGER="grep -F {" man systemd.exec leads to man: command exited with status 1: sed -e ...
Hi Colin,
First, re-reading my report, I'm afraid that maybe "{" is used as a
shell meta-character, or sed meta-character, or something similar. It
might be more than just "no output causes problems". I shouldn't have
jumped to conclusions so quickly.
Second, yes, "less ugly [but still useful]" would be great. I hadn't
considered the case of the pager missing entirely. Debugging that
without help from man would definitely take extra effort.
Thanks

The problem with fixing this as you describe ("no output at all") is
that it would make it difficult to understand what's going on in the
more common case where your configured pager is accidentally not
installed. Would you accept a less ugly error message (somehow)?
