Package: diffutils Version: 1:3.12-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
since diffutils v3.12 the option "--to-file" no longer works as expected if its argument is a directory. diff --to-file=directory file1 file2 file3 should compare file1, file2, and file3 to directory/file1, directory/file2, and directory/file3, respectively. But it only compares file1 to directory/file1 and reports for the remaining comparisons: diff: directory: No such file or directory -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.245.x86-64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages diffutils depends on: ii libc6 2.41-12 diffutils recommends no packages.
