Package: less Version: 451-1 Hi,
As explained at <http://bugs.debian.org/693537>, xzless depended on the format of the first line of "less -V" output and the modern version string "less 456 (GNU regular expressions)" confuses it. That's entirely my fault and pretty broken behavior by xzless, but it's possible xzless is not the only affected package. I wonder: * is this effect of revealing bugs in scripts that parsed the version line intentional, and is it worth it? * would it make sense to add a Breaks: xz-utils (<< 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+) to smooth the upgrade path? * any idea how one would go about finding other affected packages if they exist? BTW, thanks for the pleasant and up-to-date "less" package that makes it possible to notice this pretty early. Sincerely, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
