Subject: apt should use a pager for commands that show lots of output
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2016 12:25:01 -0300
Package: apt
Version: 1.3~rc4
Severity: wishlist
Commands such as apt list or search would benefit from using a pager.
Using a pager manually results in loss of color and the
no-stable-interface warning...
