Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dictd
Dict does not support using a pager. I discovered that this feature was removed
by the Debian team when someone
complained that they didn't like dict opening less for its output. Removing the
feature was overkill, and interferes with
my usage of dict. I use dict noninteractively and cannot simply pipe its output
in all cases---I need dict to invoke a pager
itself. To resolve this, I think that the pager feature should be re-enabled
and by default, the pager should be set to cat,
which will make it seem as though there is no pager, while people in my
situation can set the pager to less.
** Affects: dictd (Ubuntu)
