407. Building less (458) as a temporary solution on Debian Jessie

Currently less conflicts with man-db/yelp/gnome-core/gnome on debian jessie. There are probably ways of overriding the conflict, but I prefer to simply compile my own less and install it.

Note that this doesn't take into account WHY less and man-db are listed as conflicting for versions of less below 4.5.6. I simply want less and the way to do it is to compile an approved version of less.

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
wget http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/less-458.tar.gz
tar xvf less-458.tar.gz
cd less-458/
./configure
make
sudo checkinstall
