Package: mgdiff
Version: 1.0-28
Severity: important

rmgdiff/rmgdiff.awk scripts can't parse localized output of the 'diff'
utility, i.e. in cases when the LC_MESSAGES part of locale settings differs
from "C" or English. The fix is a pretty simple though:

--- /usr/bin/rmgdiff    2005-10-26 01:12:05.000000000 +0400
+++ /tmp/rmgdiff        2006-09-13 18:05:48.000000000 +0400

                               -v dir1="$1" \

                               -v rmgdiff_gui="$RMGDIFF_GUI" \


That should not have any side effects, because there are no localized
programs in mgdiff package (and rmgdiff does not work without changing
locale anyway).

Best regards,
Andrey
