Public bug reported:
$ perf list
sh: less: not found
This only affects minimal installs which don't have less installed.
Observed in:
* linux-tools-2.6.38-11 (2.6.38-11.48) in the Ubuntu archive, running under
natty (11.04)
* linux-linaro-tools-3.0.0-1004 (3.0.0-1004.5~ppa~natty) from the linaro
overlay PPA, from the 11.08 release.
The issue probably affects all packages containing the perf tool.
This could be fixed:
a) in linux (preferably upstream), by changing perf's default pager to more if
less is absent
b) in debian/ubuntu, by changing perf's default pager to /usr/bin/pager or more
c) in debian/ubuntu by allowing util-linux to provide /usr/bin/less as an
alternative using more.
d) in linux-meta by adding Depends: less (if believed to be acceptable)

Title:
perf uses less at the default pager, but the linux-tools packages have
no dependency for it
