@Avik, If it's as simple as setting the PAGER environment variable, why do I want to apply the patch?
If you think it's the right thing to do however, I'd suggest trying to push it upstream. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Linaro Maintainers, which is the registrant for Linaro Linux. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/833101 Title: perf uses less at the default pager, but the linux-tools packages have no dependency for it Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds: Fix Released Status in Linaro Linux: New Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “linux-linaro” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: $ perf list sh: less: not found This only affects minimal installs which don't have less installed. Observed in: * linux-tools-2.6.38-11 (2.6.38-11.48) in the Ubuntu archive, running under natty (11.04) * linux-linaro-tools-3.0.0-1004 (3.0.0-1004.5~ppa~natty) from the linaro overlay PPA, from the 11.08 release. The issue probably affects all packages containing the perf tool. This could be fixed: a) in linux (preferably upstream), by changing perf's default pager to more if less is absent b) in debian/ubuntu, by changing perf's default pager to /usr/bin/pager or more c) in debian/ubuntu by allowing util-linux to provide /usr/bin/less as an alternative using more. d) in linux-meta by adding Depends: less (if believed to be acceptable) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-ubuntu/+bug/833101/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~linaro-pkg Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~linaro-pkg More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
