Package: diff
Version: 2.8.1-11
Severity: normal

Hello,

the diff program gives bogus results when comparing directories
and locale is set to my usual locale (cs_CZ.iso8859-2). Particularly,
it treats every file containing a period (.) and dash (-) only present
in both directories being compared. If I do diff -Naur, it will
delete each such file and then recreate it. See the attached
output for details ("Pouze v" means "only in").

Things work fine when doing "LC_ALL=C diff"

Regards
