Your screenshots all look correct, and 'apt policy gnome*' or other commands work fine, they print into less, and wait form me to navigate using arrow keys and quit using the q key. Thats a cool new feature people have been asking for for years, as they've grown accustomed to it from git.
Again I'll reiterate, you cannot scroll using the terminal window scroll bar, that's not going to work. Have you used a pager before, e.g. piping output to less, like ls | less? Do you know how to navigate inside it using page up/down, the arrow keys, and how to quit it? Have you used git before? Especially git log on a git repository? Do you understand that apt is now automatically spawning a pager, like git? Do you understand that unlike normal use of less, automatic pagers in git and apt, set FRX to not clear the screen, and keep the output visible after exiting? Do you realize that the scroll bar provided by the terminal window does not work in that scenario but will reproduce the output and interactions with less, including missing lines, repeated lines, "skipping..." lines? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2092635 Title: apt show loops displaying same text multiple times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/2092635/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
