Package: less
Version: 418-1
Severity: normal
>From less man page:
,-----
| -jn or --jump-target=n
|
| . . . The number may be negative to specify a line relative to the
| bottom of the screen: the bottom line on the screen is -1, the
| second to the bottom is -2, and so on. . .
`-----
But it doesn't work with version 418-1 any more:
$ less aaa
-- OK,
$ less -j-6 aaa
Invalid line number
aaa (press RETURN)
-- get the "Invalid line number" error after specifying a negative
number for -j.
It might happen before version 418-1 because I haven't upgrade my
lenny for over a year now.
