            Bug ID: 295655
           Summary: etcupdate(8) diff -l not listing all files
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.1-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: jonc@chen.org.nz

From etcupdate(8) man page:

     -l             In diff mode list files that are changed locally, omit
                    printing content difference.

If I run "etcupdate diff | less", I get context-diffs for several files on my
system; eg: /root/.login, /etc/hosts, /etc/syslog.conf, ...

However, when I run "etcupdate -l", I just get:

10:39am# etcupdate diff -l

Changed: /root/.login

10:39am#

Only one file is listed instead of the list of all changed files.
