Hello,

System: OpenSUSE tumbleweed.

If I use command

|    diff FILE1 FILE2 FILE3 --from-file OTHER-DIR/| (with and without trailing slash)

only FILE1 is compared. For the other files I get the message: "diff: OTHER-DIR: No such file or directory". All files exist! Same for option --to-file. If I remove FILE1 from the source list, only FILE2 is compared. At an old system, this commands works perfect. I use this type of command for decades and had never such issues.

Example code (bash):

|# create test files mkdir -p other-dir for f in {,other-dir/}file{1,2,3}.tmp; do echo "$f" > "$f"; done # test diff file{1,2,3}.tmp --from-file other-dir/ diff file{1,2,3}.tmp --to-file other-dir/ # cleanup rm -r file{1,2,3}.tmp other-dir/|
