This package is failing to install for me since it was moved to AUR. If I run e.g. yay to update, the following error occurs:

==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
    units-2.22.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1889D5F0E0636F49)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!

I really don't think (re)placing /usr/bin/pager in a totally unrelated package is a good idea. Although nothing from official repositories provides it at this moment, it sounds like a recipe for conflicts.

We could probably add a wrapper script that finds the best pager (similar to Debian's /usr/bin/sensible-pager), sets the $PAGER environment variable if it's unset, and then calls the real binary (which would have to be renamed in this case).

Let me think about this for a few days.

Please symlink /usr/bin/pager to $PAGER by default, or, if unset, /usr/bin/less if it exists, else error. Help function doesn't work right without it.
