Hi,
After changing 'wheezy' to 'testing' in sources.list and simple 'apt-get
update && apt-get upgrade', I run also 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which
introduced more upgrades as usual.
After a while I found something went wrong: less could not be found!
In /var/log/apt/history.log I found that I was *warned* that I would remove
`less'. But how come something like 'less' be removed!?
cat /ver/log/apt/history.log:

Now many programs that use `less' for piping has come into a problem,
including `octave'. And I believe there are many others.
