Package: man-db
Version: 2.7.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  Using a script that contains "man ... 2> <file>"

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

  Called the script with arguments "-a ..."

   * What was the outcome of this action?

  There was no indication how to proceed when the first page was
displayed.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

  Normal output as if 'man -a ...' were used on a command line.

##

  "man -a man" send the message (if connected to a terminal)

--Man-- next: man(1posix) [ view (return) | skip (Ctrl-D) | quit (Ctrl-C) ]

to the standard error instead of standard output (or /dev/tty).  This
message is not of type warning or error!
