Description Marcus Reid 2013-11-02 01:40:00 UTC 
freebsd-update executes pager to display a blank list, which is not noticeable when pager is default (more) but is annoying if it is set to 'less'.

How-To-Repeat: PAGER=less freebsd-update fetch

Although this PR predates 194547 that one has a patch so marking this a duplicate of that one.
