Package: xz-utils
Version: 5.1.1alpha+20120614-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
when looking with "xzless" at the contents of an file compressed with xz
the following error message appears after quitting the command:
/usr/bin/xzless: line 49: test: 456 (GNU regular expressions): integer
expression expected
This is due to the fact that less -V prints a line like
less 456 (GNU regular expressions)
The error in the script "xzless" can be corrected by the appended patch.

Jörg-Volker.
