Description Jochem Kossen 2002-01-31 09:10:47 UTC
In the following command, sdiff should interactively merge file1 and file2 into  file3. It works fine in diffutils-2.7-r4



jochem@lisa jochem $ sdiff -o file3 file1 file2

sdiff: c1,1

Breakage was not gentoo's fault, and there's an updated version available. aeoo asked me to assign this to him. He'll probably update the ebuild...

Done.  diffutils upgraded to 2.7.7 and sdiff indeed works now.
