Reinhard,
* tlmgr --help: The TeX Live Manager uses "less" to display the help
text. In the new version, it shows some wired escape sequences.
I can reproduce it on tug.org, ssh'd in with a plain old xterm, locale
settings all POSIX. I run:
$ (unset LESS; unset LESSOPEN; tlmgr help)
And it says:
"/tmp/OWdfETYIXZ" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
And I type "y" and and what I see is the attached screenshot, full of
ESC sequences.
If I just hit RET instead of typing "y" to the binary file question, it
displays correctly.
If I set PAGER=more (which gets /bin/more), it displays correctly.
Both /bin/less and /usr/local/gnu/bin/less on tug have the same wrong
behavior.
I don't know when I'll have a chance to really look into it. If you
feel like it, so much the better.
Thanks,
karl
