Package: patchutils Version: 0.3.3-1 filterdiff doesn't check for fopen() errors when processing the -X (exclude-from-file) and -I (--include-from-file) options. This means that filterdiff -X exclude.file my.patch behaves like cat if exclude.file doesn't exist (e.g. if you mistype the filename). I think it would be more sensible if filterdiff exited with an error in this case.
