Package: man-db
Version: 2.6.3-2
Severity: normal
Prompts appear incorrectly with less 456 due to an incompatibility
change:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695361
For instance, if the page name contains a period, the period is missing
in the prompt. And the % character doesn't appear.
For "man --debug apt.conf", I get:
Setting LESS to -ix8RmPm Manual page apt\.conf(5) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte
%bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%.. (press h for help or q to quit)$PM Manual page
apt\.conf(5) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte %bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%.. (press h for
help or q to quit)$-ciMR
All the backslashes need to be doubled with less >= 456.
