Subject: sdiff calling editor fails
Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 19:59:16 +0200
Package: diff
Version: 2.8.1-11
Severity: important
when running sdiff in interactive mode (with -o option), it fails in the
end with the message "sdiff: subsidiary program `<editor>' failed" where
<editor> is set by the EDITOR environment variable (or ed by default).
This seems to happen independently of the editor used (even /bin/true
fails) and also with a version I compiled from GNU sources. The bug is
not present in the woody version of sdiff (2.7).
