System 1
$ less -V
less 444
...
System 2
$ less -V
less 451 (POSIX regular expressions)
The error is in xz assuming that the version format doesn't change.
It should be something like:
if ( test "$(less -V | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f2)" -ge 429; then
...
That's shorter, more robust, and has more clarity.
