--- Begin Message ---Package: diffstat Version: 1.55-3 Severity: normal Diffstat tries to get the terminal width to auto-scale the histogram, but the method it uses simply doesn't work, at least with bash. The method it uses is getenv("COLUMNS"). Unfortunately, at least with bash, the COLUMNS variable is normally a "magic" variable, it doesn't really exist in the environment, and so diffstat always thinks the terminal is 80 chars wide, which often results in forcing the histogram to only be its minimum 10 chars wide, no matter how big the terminal window is. Workaround: export COLUMNS -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.6-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages diffstat depends on: ii libc6 2.13-37 diffstat recommends no packages. diffstat suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
