Description Penelope Fudd 2006-05-10 17:54:15 UTC
Description of problem:
For some reason, less isn't displaying the contents of files.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
less-394-3

How reproducible:
All the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -qa | grep perl > /tmp/perlfiles
2. less /tmp/perlfiles
3.
  
Actual results:
No output

Expected results:
The contents of the file

Additional info:
I've fixed the bug by adding one line to /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh at line 39:
        DECOMPRESSOR="cat"
Without that line, the command line for plain files is " -- $1", which doesn't
do anything.

Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2006-05-11 12:51:55 UTC
This problem should be fixed in less-394-4.
