Bug Description

[ SRU Justification ]
Due to the bug, "less foo.ddeb" now gives you binary goop, instead of executing dpkg.

[ Test Case ]
Make sure the output of "less foo.ddeb" is similar to "less foo.deb", rather than a binary dump.

[ Regression Potential ]
nil, it's a 1-char fix.

Hello Adam, or anyone else affected,

Accepted less into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/less/481-2.1ubuntu0.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
