Package: diffutils
Version: 1:3.0-1
Severity: normal
This example reports nothing different, really ignores lines with 'xxx' as
expected:
$ /usr/bin/diff --ignore-matching-lines='^xxx.*$' <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\nxxx\neee\nxxx\nfff') <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\neee\nfff')
But this example reports the first 'xxx' line as difference near the other
different line ('y'), and does not report the second 'xxx' line:
$ /usr/bin/diff --ignore-matching-lines='^xxx.*$' <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\nxxx\ny\neee\nxxx\nfff') <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\neee\nfff')
5,6d4
< xxx
< y
Expected result should be like this:
$ /usr/bin/diff --ignore-matching-lines='^xxx.*$' <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\nxxx\ny\neee\nxxx\nfff') <(echo -e
'aaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\neee\nfff')

< y
