Bug 395567 – app-arch/gzip - /usr/bin/zless fails to uncompress stdin

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM

[Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2011-12-21 16:52:53 UTC]

I regularly do things like this:

wget 'https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=296549' -O - | [compression]less

With xzless, bzless and so on this works fine. With zless, I end up getting the compressed stdin shown in less.
