diffutils (1:2.8.1-18) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Modify Replaces field so that it includes old releases of diff in
    experimental. Closes: #546364. Note: This will make diff 2.8.7

    should be reverted some day after the release of sarge.

 -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Tue, 15 Feb 2005 22:45:18 +0100
