Hi, you don't see something like the following at the top of the output for each source package? diffstat for quilt-0.60 quilt-0.60 .pc/.quilt_patches | 1 .pc/.quilt_series | 1 .pc/.version | 1 changelog | 15 ++++++- patches/select-mail | 103 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ patches/series | 1 6 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff -Nru quilt-0.60/debian/changelog quilt-0.60/debian/changelog --- quilt-0.60/debian/changelog 2013-08-22 01:24:09.000000000 +0000 +++ quilt-0.60/debian/changelog 2013-09-05 12:23:58.000000000 +0000 [snip] apt-listdifferences should be calling debdiff with the --diffstat option, which generates that. I wonder if there is an issue with coloring that may be masking that. Can you try setting color=False in /usr/bin/apt-listdifferences? Also make sure "debdiff --diffstat" by itself works as expected on your machine.
