Subject: diffoscope: Tests that call xxd fail on jessie due to output change

Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 15:46:28 -0500

Package: diffoscope
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

In jessie, xxd outputs one less digit in the line address listing than
expected.  This causes tests that call xxd to fail because the output does
not exactly match the output of xxd that was use to generate the expected
diff.  Here's an example test session output:

__________________________ test_diff ____________________________________

differences = <Difference /dev/null -- /home/brett/repos/diffoscope/tests/comparators/../data/text_ascii1 []>

    @skip_unless_tools_exist('xxd')
    def test_diff(differences):
        expected_diff = get_data('device_expected_diff')
>       assert differences.unified_diff == expected_diff
E       assert '@@ -1,3 +1,2...t laborum..\n' == '@@ -1,3 +1,28...t laborum..\n'

test_device.test_diff_reverse and test_rpm.test_fallback_comparison fail for
the same reason.
