My EDITOR environment variable is not set, so sdiff tries to use 'ed' (which I've also got installed) and the message I'm getting after running:
sdiff -o diff.txt diff1.txt diff2.txt and doing a merge is the following: sdiff: subsidiary program `ed' failed funnily enough, the merge seems to work regardless of the error message. -- sdiff calling editor fails https://launchpad.net/bugs/73337 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
