+
+ [ Test Plan ]
+
+ 1. install diffuse.
+ 2. execute diffuse
+
+ If the package is fixed, it will fail to start.
+ With the fixed package the "diffuse" window will be displayed.
+
+ basic sanity test (to check diffuse is working)
+ $ echo "testing" > notes1
+ $ echo "testiing" > notes2
+ $ diffuse notes1 notes2
+
+ The diffuse window should now open with both the files and the
+ difference highlighted.
+
+
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+
+ This is an upstream patch which is checking if the provided option is
+ true or not. As a worst case scenario, if the change has an adverse
+ affect then the options might be detected as false instead of true and
+ that can result in the logs being printed in a different way or not
+ updating from flatpak.
+
+ [ Other Info ]
+
+ It has been fixed in upstream version 0.9.0 and so is fixed in Oracular
+ and Plucky.
