Package: less Version: 436-1 Severity: minor
Option +q is expected to be the same as pressing q as soon as less starts. On the console, where the last screenfull of whatever is displayed by less does not disappear upon exiting, however, dmesg | less , followed by pressing `q´, displays the top of dmesg's output, i.e., it acts essentially like `dmesg | head`. On the other hand, dmesg | less +q does not produce any output at all, and I have to use dmesg | less +gq instead to achieve the same behavior as before. I find this behavior slightly confusing, though obviously not very important at all. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.5 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 3.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.11.3-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand less recommends no packages. less suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
