i forget to report: ~ # grep PAGER /etc/env.d/* /etc/env.d/00basic:PAGER="/usr/bin/less" ~ # set | grep PAGER PAGER=/usr/bin/less and MANPAGER=/usr/bin/less emerge xterm not help
Found a misconfiguration in man.conf: PAGER /usr/binless not PAGER /usr/bin/less The strange thing is than re-emerge sys-apps/man (reported as owner of /etc/man.conf) not fix the configuration file, no /etc/.cfg0000_man.conf will be created in every case. Sorry for mismatch, closed as invalid.
