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

A backwards-incompatible change was made in Gnulib yesterday:


Date        Modules         Changes

2025-10-31  nstrftime       The return type changed from size_t to ptrdiff_t.
                            The return value in case of failure changed from 0
                            to -1.

GNU diffutils needs to be updated accordingly. Find attached a proposed
patch. So that the value -1 gets interpreted as failure, not as success
of nstrftime().
