Problem about man-1.5m2

[Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID)]

I found the same thing and 2 other problems

(1) If the environmental variable LESS is set, it overrides the PAGER
setting in man.conf.

(2) Large chunks of text can be incorrectly made bold.

Not wanting to have to choose between less working the way I want and man
working properly, I I've rolled back to ver 1.5j-2.

Just install man-1.5m2 from mirrors.kernel.org

I think the PAGER setting in /usr/share/misc/man.conf should be changed to

PAGER = less -irs

In order to display the ESC sequence correctly.
