Trying 

[root]# ls -ltr /etc/alternatives/pager

gave me

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root 11 Sept 16 14:50 /etc/alternatives/pager ->
/usr/bin/lv 

Without being paranoid about '9/11', something apparently happened at
14:50 ... and what is 'lv' ?

Trying 'apt-get install less' receives the message
"less is already the newest version"
