Package: less Version: 429-1 Severity: normal my .bashrc contains the suggested eval "$(lesspipe)" line. When this is commented out less behaves normally. When it is evaluated less only works for files types other than plain text, showing instead only the name of the file and END. Therefore this seems to me to be a problem with the lesspipe script rather than with the less binary itself.
