Package: diffoscope
Version: 45
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When comparing directories that contain broken symlinks, e.g. by the following
steps:
mkdir a
mkdir b
cd a
ln -s 1 link
cd ..
cd b
ln -s 2 link
cd
diffoscope a b
...diffoscope crashes with a Python exception when attempting to open the file
pointed by the symlink:
Traceback (most recent call last):
