Package: mysql-client-5.1
Version: 5.1.49-3
Severity: normal

    I have the following line in the '[client]'
block of '~/.my.cnf':

    pager = less
    
When I try to run mysqldump it ends with an error:

    mysqldump:  Unknown variable pager = less
    
Googling this class of error had many hits but only
one exact hit on the first page, dated Wed, 07 Mar 2001!

not a bug, mysqldump is one of the clients which reads the [client] section, and the pager option can only be used by the mysql client.

Moving the pager option into the [mysql] section should fix your problem.
