Package: bzip2
Version: 1.0.6-9.2~deb10u1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Moin,
bzdiff does not work when comparing two bzip2 compressed files:
finlandia!joey(tty6):/data> bzdiff options-18.bz2 options-19.bz2
diff: extra operand '/tmp/bzdiff.6FPnOK9OHZ'
diff: Try 'diff --help' for more information.
The problem has been introduced in buster and is still present in bullseye.
The solution is to remove the quotes around options in diff execution
as show in the attached patch.
Regards
Joey
