Thanks for confirming, but also I want to note that it seems you have a
misconfigured system because you should not be pulling stuff from
proposed by default. In any case the bug will close once the package
migrated.

Title:
  APT doesn't respect pager's configuration with apt show

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I'm using less as my pager. PAGER env variable, `pager` and `sensible-pager` 
commands also points to less.
  When I execute `apt show <package>`, the pager is invoked by apt, it's less 
(I can go up, different than more), but it doesn't use the configuration I had 
set with the LESS env variable, so things like scrolling with the mouse wheel 
are not possible.
  If I execute `apt changelog <package>`, it did work since the command 
downloads the changelog file in /tmp and opens it with the pager.
  `apt show <package>|less` also works.
  I found a $PAGER_ENV set in the file CMakeLists.txt in the apt's source, and 
it sets some options for LESS env variable. I don't know if these values are 
being used just during the compilation for the tests, or the value is kept 
forever, which maybe isn't correct since it should respect the configurations 
defined by the user in LESS env variable.
