Description of problem: Since upgrading less from 704-1 to 704-2 perldoc doesn't work anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): less-704-2.fc44.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade less from 704-1 to 704-2 2. Use any perldoc command, e.g. "perldoc perlrun", "perldoc IO", "perldoc -f open" 3. Actual results: "read error (press RETURN)" is shown. Expected results: Actual pod contents are shown. Additional info: Downgrading to 704-1 fixes the problem (except for the case in Bug 2468485). Setting LESSOPEN='|/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s' also fixes the problem (including Bug 2468485). The default from /etc/profile.d/less.sh is '||/usr/bin/lesspipe.sh %s' (note the double pipe, which is not documented in the less manpage except if it's followed by a dash, i.e. "||-").
