Summary0003607: Dradis missing required 'less' gem - Please package ruby-less
Description

It looks like dradis package requires the 'less' gem - which isn't in the repos.

Manually using the gem fixes the issue (going outside of the repo)

Currently the service will NOT start up correctly without it.

After installing, the service starts working again.

Steps To Reproduce

Adding the SASS gem is meant to also help out.

I didn't reproduce this issue. (I had an another one on a fresh install, I will send a fix very soon).
I didn't find where the gem less is used.
If needed, I can patch the Gemfile of the package to add the gem less: the gem will be added in the bundle of the package in /usr/lib/dradis/vendor/bundle/ where all the required gems are installed.

The gem SASS is already in this "bundle" and in the repo of kali.
