Re: Broken Man pages after uprade!
"Less" 'set it up' (or rather the less package set it up). This is a
relatively new scheme for handling utilities that can have more than one
version installed but are also used by other programs. Thus, you can
have 'more', 'less', 'muchmore', 'xless', and who knows how many others
installed and available and use them but select essentially any one to
be the 'default'.
