Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.5-3 Severity: wishlistGot 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.
I think that a better solution for cases like this would be to use --visual-preview. The formatting of information in that case is a bit better than with command line, and one can scroll up and down and fold subtrees, etc. Honouring $PAGER would be nice in general, but I think that aptitude already spawns too many processes to perform various tasks, and spawning processes as root is always dangerous (and circumventing that to use lower priviledges means quite a lot of work).
