Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.5-3
Severity: wishlist

Got a problem here in command line mode.

      Upgrade the following packages:
7)      libapt-pkg-perl [0.1.29+b4 (now) -> 0.1.29+b5 (unstable)]
8)      libcairo-perl [1.106-1 (now) -> 1.106-1+b1 (unstable)]
9)      libcommon-sense-perl [3.74-1 (now) -> 3.74-1+b1 (unstable)]
...
38)     libyaml-syck-perl [1.29-1 (now) -> 1.29-1+b1 (unstable)]
39)     perl-tk [1:804.033-1 (now) -> 1:804.033-1+b1 (unstable)]



Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] **ALSO NOTE THE BIG 3 line gap above***

Well what about the first few? They have flown off my screen. So maybe
aptitude should honor PAGER?

The man page says

       PAGER
           If this environment variable is set, aptitude will use it to
           display changelogs when "aptitude changelog" is invoked. If not
           set, it defaults to more.

so maybe it should kick in optionally also in this case.

One notes one can still use less(1) $LESS with

       -F or --quit-if-one-screen
              Causes less to automatically exit if the entire file can be dis-
              played on the first screen.
