How to debug "fatal: external diff died, stopping at ..."?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

similar to this [1] question on StackOverflow, ever since a
distribution upgrade of my Fedora Linux box (KDE spin, now on release
37), my configured diff / merge tool (Beyond Compare 4) crashes with
"fatal: external diff died, stopping at ..." after displaying the diff
for the first file, for every operation I've tried so far (including
resolving merge conflicts). I've also posted to the Beyond Compare
forums [2], but the people from Scooter Software seem to be clueless
as well.

Would anyone have an idea how to debug this?

PS: I also tried to use an X11 instead of a Wayland session with KDE /
Plasma, but that did not help.
