Package: man-db
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: minor
Hi Colin :),
When the IFS env var exists man doesn't show anything at all if it doesn't
contain a white space. Examples follow:
$ PAGER=wc man man
526 4401 39336
$ PAGER=wc IFS= man man
0 0 0
$ PAGER=wc IFS=' ' man man
526 4401 39336
As mentioned during DC9, an easy way to fix the problem is by unsetting IFS in
nroff.
Cheers,
