Package: colordiff
Version: 1.0.13-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
All of the output from colordiff begins with four error messages regardless of
what input I pass to it. For example, here is what I get when running
colordiff on my Mutt config:
$ colordiff -U3 .muttrc.home .muttrc
Invalid colour specification (no) in /etc/colordiffrc
Invalid colour specification (diff) in /etc/colordiffrc
Invalid colour specification (off) in /etc/colordiffrc
Unknown option in /etc/colordiffrc: cvsstuff
--- .muttrc.home 2013-04-11 19:03:23.794554623 -0700
+++ .muttrc 2013-04-11 19:19:22.108752374 -0700
This is immediately followed by the rest of the properly colorized diff
output. These errors/messages do not appear to have an effect on my usage.
I am submitting this bug report because these errors occur with the default
configuration as shipped with the colordiff Debian package.
I first noticed this with version 1.0.10 but it persists with 1.0.13. I do
not have a ~/.colordiffrc file and there have been no changes to
/etc/colordiffrc.
Users may find this particularly confusing since the default /etc/colordiffrc
file says in the comments that, among other values, "off" is a valid
color/alias. Actually, looking closer, it appears that colordiff complains
about every line in the file except for comments and the following three
lines:
newtext=blue
oldtext=red
diffstuff=magenta
I find it odd that there is no existing bug report, especially since this
problem seems to have existed since at least version 1.0.10. This would
suggest the problem is on my PC or with my configuration, but I haven't been
able to find anything.

Closing this bug: no follow-up from the submitter: likely a serious
local issue in the colordiff setup for the submitter, but not a
colordiff bug.
