I've been emerging world today and I think one of the packages I updated was a diff package. Now when I run etc-update the only info I get from choosing to interactively merge the update with the original is something like:
Showing differences between /etc/X11/rstart/rstartd.real and /etc/X11/rstart/._cfg0000_rstartd.real Files /etc/X11/rstart/rstartd.real and /etc/X11/rstart/._cfg0000_rstartd.real differ
Does anyone know how to fix this?
You don't need to fix it because it isn't broken. That file is binary so diff can't show you the differences.

Thanks, all auto-merged.

Ok but don't do automerge ("-5" if I remember well) as "default" merge always the binary files but also have a look at the others.
An execepition many people do is the files in /etc/init.d/ , to let etc-update handle files in that dir set your CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/init.d/"
