Package: diffoscope
Version: 96
Severity: wishlist
When comparing two APK files with diffoscope, it only shows a difference
in the CRC checksum of the resources.arsc file, but fails to provide a
better idea about why the files are different.
In this case, the difference seems to comes from file sorting that
affects how resources.arsc is created. That is most likely why also
apktool does not show any differences.
The only way I could show better differences was running `aapt dump
resources` on the APKs.
Two example files for comparision:

Hi,
> Android APK: Display differences due to file sorting, e.g. resources.arsc
This is now being handled in a new, fresher, bug on salsa.debian.org
so I am closing this corresponding Debian bug.
