Dear Maintainer,
after upgrading to Stretch, cmp -b output is wrong - if the files are
different, the first different byte is always printed as 12 ^J. This is a
major bug in such a simple utility. cmp -b -l works correctly.
$ echo 1 >one
$ echo 2 >two
$ cmp -b one two
one two differ: byte 1, line 1 is 12 ^J 62 2
This was fixed in Debian 10 (buster), which is now oldstable.
I'm therefore marking it as fixed in the buster version.
Thanks.
