Package: xz-utils Version: 5.0.0-2 Severity: normal
It always returns 0 instead of 1 (i.e. if the files differ). Simple way to check: cp /etc/hosts /etc/hostname /tmp/ cd /tmp diff -q host* ; echo $? xz host* xzdiff -q host* ; echo $? I could not create a simple test case for 2 return value (this would be a case where diff fails due to an error while xzdiff can run correctly, i.e. unreadable xz files do not qualify). xzcmp behaves the same way, as they are the same program. I've already filed a bug report with a patch in the ubuntu bug tracker: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xz-utils/+bug/816325 I've verified that the patch also works on debian squeeze. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xz-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii liblzma2 5.0.0-2 XZ-format compression library xz-utils recommends no packages.
