Does anyone know if there is a reason that the pager is disabled from the etc-update script? I found that it was commented out in the etc-update script. Should I be submitting a bug report or can I find information somewhere on why this might have been done? The following is the diff that fixes etc-update so that the pager runs properly...

Code:
226c226,227
<                                  -e "s:%file2:${file}:"` | ${pager} )
---
>                                  -e "s:%file2:${file}:"` )
>                                  # | ${pager}

Hi,

I this a typo? I guess so...

In /usr/sbin/etc-update you have

line 368: pager=""P

This prevents you from diff'ing an interactively merged file with the update. Maybe that's why pager was commented out.
