less 551-1ubuntu0.1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
less (551-1ubuntu0.1) focal; urgency=medium
* On upgrade from packages that shipped less in both /bin and /usr/bin,
call update-alternatives in preinst, such that after unpacking,
/usr/bin/pager remains operational. This should resolve dpkg failing
to invoke pager by dpkg. LP: #1874953

- less: pager program similar to more
This package provides "less", a file pager (that is, a memory-efficient
utility for displaying text one screenful at a time). Less has many
more features than the basic pager "more". As part of the GNU project,
it is widely regarded as the standard pager on UNIX-derived systems.
.
Also provided are "lessecho", a simple utility for ensuring arguments
with spaces are correctly quoted; "lesskey", a tool for modifying the
standard (vi-like) keybindings; and "lesspipe", a filter for specific
types of input, such as .doc or .txt.gz files.
