1.115.1.  RHBA-2009:0413: bug fix update

Note

This update has already been released (prior to the GA of this release) as FASTRACK errata RHBA-2009:0413
An updated less package that fixes a bug is now available.
The less utility is a text file browser that resembles more, but with more capabilities ("less is more"). The less utility allows users to move backwards in the file as well as forwards. Because less need not read the entire input file before it starts, less starts up more quickly than text editors (vi, for example).
This updated less package fixes a bug which caused less to incorrectly add carriage return characters to the displayed output of text with lines which spanned longer than the terminal width. This could cause inconvenience when copying and pasting lines of text from a less session in the terminal. With this updated package, less no longer adds these carriage return characters, thus resolving the issue.
All users of less are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
