Subject: diffoscope fails on dumb terminals with 'bytes' object has no attribute 'format'

Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2018 14:53:11 -0400

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: diffoscope
Version: 99
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The new eraser bar seems to break things when diffoscope is run on a
dumb terminal (or other similar weird environments, such as an emacs
M-x shell buffer).

The attached patches also clean up the spelling of "eraser" :)
