Description Michał Górny 2012-05-29 21:12:57 UTC

If $PAGER refers to a broken pager (i.e. just removed one), most of systemd tools fail to run:

sh: /usr/bin/less: No such file or directory

Maybe the fallback code should be executed in that case as well...

Since a while now there's some "null pager" thingy in the paging logic that is used as fallback if no pager can be started.
