….gz has disappeared This is a fix for the current package source file http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/less-483.tar.gz not being available anymore. We bump the less version back to 481, and adjust the source package hash accordingly. This is a (slight) downgrade from 483 as opposed to an upgrade since a) 481 is the current Recommended version by http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/download.html b) Upstream is unreliable about keeping experimental versions around.

Reverting 473e5a4 would be much easier, but as you already provided the patch ... I'm okay with that!
