less: only move executable less to /bin

[tushar@…]

The less package installs three executables: less, lessecho and lesskey. Only less is needed in /bin, all others should be in /usr/bin. The less package installation should be changed to:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make && make install && mv -v /usr/bin/less /bin

I suppose that we need to ensure that less doesn't look for the lessecho and lesskey programs when it is invoked. I don't know. I suppose renaming them temporarily and run less to see if it chokes would be one way to test.

But I do notice this:

rml@rmlinux: ~/build > grep lessecho /bin/less Binary file /bin/less matches rml@rmlinux: ~/build > grep lesskey /bin/less Binary file /bin/less matches

Based on the man page description, it doesn't look like it does. The matches for lesskey and lessecho in /bin/less does not turn up anything relevant.

Potentially embarassingly stupid question here, but why do we need to move `less' at all? The FHS, LSB and POSIX don't mention it, and the bootscripts don't call it. Why can't all 3 binaries just live in /usr/bin?
