Hi! I agree, this:

less (551-1) sid; urgency=low
  * move binaries back to /usr/bin (closes: #500092)

is almost certainly related. If during the upgrade process the new
'less' package is unpacked but not configured yet, there's a window
where the pager alternative points to the wrong location.

I can't see an easy way to fix this. What the linked Debian bug
suggests, that is: make dpkg fallback to more(1) if $PAGER is not
available, is probably the right balance between making dpkg solid and
not adding an overly complex logic for what basically is a one-off
failure.

** Summary changed:

- package smartmontools 7.1-1build1 failed to install/upgrade: conffile 
difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127
+ dpkg: conffile difference visualizer subprocess returned error exit status 127
