[Bug 1606640] Re: a typo in 481-1 broke lesspipe ddeb support

[Andy Whitcroft]

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted less into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/less/481-2.1ubuntu0.1
in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  a typo in 481-1 broke lesspipe ddeb support

Status in less package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in less source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in less package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  [ SRU Justification ]
  Due to the bug, "less foo.ddeb" now gives you binary goop, instead of executing dpkg.

  [ Test Case ]
  Make sure the output of "less foo.ddeb" is similar to "less foo.deb", rather than a binary dump.

  [ Regression Potential ]
  nil, it's a 1-char fix.
