Hello!
I've seen this with diff 2.8.1-13 on two machines.
tschwinge@flubber:~ $ sudo apt-get --purge dist-upgrade
[...]

tschwinge@flubber:~ $ ls -l /usr/bin/cmp /usr/bin/diff /usr/bin/diff3 /usr/bin/sdiff
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18692 May 30 01:34 /usr/bin/cmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 64284 May 30 01:34 /usr/bin/diff
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20044 May 30 01:34 /usr/bin/diff3
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18916 May 30 01:34 /usr/bin/sdiff
These should be executable. As a workaround, use ``sudo chmod +x
/usr/bin/cmp /usr/bin/diff /usr/bin/diff3 /usr/bin/sdiff'' to fix this.
Regards,
Thomas
