Bug#265792: dpkg: D (diff) option on conffile install no longer works, returns to prompt

[simon raven <simon@nuit.ca>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.23
Severity: important



hi,

when i'm asked to choose which file i want to keep, my installed one or
the maintainer's copy, doing the 'd' (doing a diff between the two) does
nothing, and returns me to the prompt. it was working in the previous
version (?; could have been in the one before), but this version it doesn't.
