I haven't tried the -2 pkg yet , but I noticed that with man-db I
don't have coloured man pages anymore when using 'less' as the pager.
To get coloured man pages, I need to use 'most' as pager.
Is there anyone else who has this problem? It might be caused by a
lack of a feature in man-db (I can't see why it would be the case) or
a config issue. I haven't spent much time looking it up as it's a
minor thing and works with 'most' although I would prefer 'less'.
