Package: less
Version: 481-2.1
Severity: normal
Control: -1 notfound 487

Dear Maintainer,

less before version 487 improperly detects double-width characters which
breaks how -S option works. Wide characters are counted as narrow,
eventhough they occupy two cells on a terminal, which makes less stop
displaying text too late and the text is wrapped on a terminal.

The problem is due to a bug in the mkutable perl script.

Please backport at least the fix for mkutable to Debian 9.
