This was trying to do an interactive update. Also some good documentation in the man page would be appreciated (like how to adjust it to go into dialog mode, etc). mguertin@macdiscussion.com 2003-01-08 11:54:48 0000 hmm possibly an issue with sdiff? I don't have time to fight with it quite yet, but will revisit this one when I have some time with more details mguertin@macdiscussion.com 2003-02-03 10:51:06 0000 Nall: Can you try this out when you have a chance? Run etc-update and try to interactively merge the diffs and it should trigger it. nall@themountaingoats.net 2003-02-03 10:55:39 0000 yeah, i'll take it. what's your diff command set to in etc-update.conf or whereever? (so i can get the same behavior). does this happen every time? mguertin@macdiscussion.com 2003-02-03 11:05:35 0000 I am using the defaults, it should be set to sdiff of some sort, and it happens every time. nall@themountaingoats.net 2003-02-04 21:15:17 0000 diffutils-2.8.4-r3 (committed in CVS) fixes this bug in sdiff. vapier@gentoo.org 2003-02-22 03:42:26 0000 if you have '-mabi=altivec -maltivec' in CFLAGS, sdiff also segfaults ... however, if you have just one or the other, sdiff works :) mholzer@gentoo.org 2003-05-05 12:24:17 0000 fixed
