It's seemingly important what version of util-linux is installed.
On Arch Linux I get the same:
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ more
more: bad usage
Try 'more --help' for more information.
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Q util-linux
util-linux 2.32.1-2
However, on Ubuntu 16.04.05 LTS, the Ubuntu release the OP does use,
too, I get:
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ more
Usage:
more [options] <file>...
A file perusal filter for CRT viewing.
Options:
-d display help instead of ringing bell
-f count logical rather than screen lines
-l suppress pause after form feed
-c do not scroll, display text and clean line ends
-p do not scroll, clean screen and display text
-s squeeze multiple blank lines into one
-u suppress underlining
-<number> the number of lines per screenful
+<number> display file beginning from line number
+/<string> display file beginning from search string match
-V display version information and exit
For more details see more(1).
As you can see, _without_ "unknown option -/bin/more" on top.
As already posted before:
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ apt list -qqa util-linux
util-linux/xenial-updates,now 2.27.1-6ubuntu3.6 amd64 [installed]
util-linux/xenial 2.27.1-6ubuntu3 amd64
