Hi,
since some time less (or lesspipe) when displaying compress texts reports:
/bin/bash: option -c requires an argument when I Quit displaying a text.
The text (or deb, nice script manoj :-) is displayed correctly, its only a
little annoying to get this message everytime I quit less. I dont
and they will be set every time you log in. These are the
commands:
export LESSOPEN='|/usr/bin/lesspipe %s'
This makes less pipe everything you view through this script.
This gives you readable information for verious non-text files, like
.tgz,
.gz, .tar, .zip, .arj and .deb files

lesspipe is in less version 332-2, at least. Perhaps it is only in
hamm versions of less.
In bo you can do it like this:
LESSOPEN='|~/bin/lesspipe.sh %s'
and lesspipe.sh reads:
---cut

To configure less to be more useful, you can set some environment

$ more /var/lib/dpkg/info/less.list
Not there!
Seems you've got a rather old version of less, maybe?
$ grep pipe /var/lib/dpkg/info/less.list
/usr/bin/lesspipe
$ dpkg -l less
