For some reason less (<456) and man-db conflict. man-db in turn is a requirement for yelp, which is a requirement for gnome-core which is a requirement for gnome. In other words, you currently have a choice between less or gnome.

Easy fix for this, is to get the version of Less from Sid and install it. But I found this troubling as well, especially since it's been a week and this hasn't been fixed yet.
ReplyDeleteGetting it from sid would've been easier in this particular case due the few dependencies, but it can be a risky approach in general due the possibility of other dependencies being pulled in. Unless you simply download the .deb of course.
DeleteActually, to correct my last post. It has been fixed
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update -- I'll update the post.
