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. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages colordiff depends on: ii perl 5.14.2-20 colordiff recommends no packages. colordiff suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- --John Gruenenfelder Systems Manager, MKS Imaging Technology, LLC.
