Package: less Version: 394-1 Severity: normal
lesspipe tries to use catdoc in order to preprocess .doc files. There are two problems with this: 1. If catdoc is not found, lesspipe fails silently, returning an empty result. This causes less to present the original binary file, and will cause the first-time user (this user) to think he hasn't set up lesspipe correctly. 2. I think this implies less should suggest/recommend catdoc. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 2.15.3 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand less recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
