We have tested (or attempted to test) bug like this when Spacewalk 2.6 was to be released. This is a clone of that bug to get it re-tested on Satellite 5.8.0. In some cases bug can be completely irrelevant (in such cases I suggest to close the bug as NOTABUG), in some cases it might be wise to take the bug as a note that something changed in a given area and we might want to sanity-test that area (and mark the bug as VERIFIED with "SanityOnly" keyword) and in some cases bug might be totally relevant to Satellite.



+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1358484 +++

Description of problem:
While working on providing sane output when diff'ing binary configuration files, I notice that the diff output for rhncfg-manager uses "---" to prefix both the source and destination files.  It should be prefixing the second file with "+++".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhncfg-management-5.10.93-1.fc23.noarch

How reproducible:
easily

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a client system subscribed to a configuration channel
2. Have one text configuration file being managed that differs on the client
3. Run the command `rhncfg-manager diff <configfile> -c <configchannel>`

Actual results:
diff output looks like this...
--- /tmp/hosts  2016-07-19 14:57:20     attributes: -rw-r--r-- [line truncated]
--- /tmp/hosts  2016-07-20 15:16:48     attributes: -rw-r--r-- [line truncated]
[rest of output truncated]

Expected results:
--- /tmp/hosts  2016-07-19 14:57:20     attributes: -rw-r--r-- [line truncated]
+++ /tmp/hosts  2016-07-20 15:16:48     attributes: -rw-r--r-- [line truncated]
[rest of output truncated]

Note that during testing this I have filed bug 1394045.

I have tested on both SWnightly@OracleXE10@RHEL6 and SWnightly@PostgreSQL@RHEL7 (rhncfg-management-5.10.98-1.el7.noarch).

1. Create config channel and file in it with something in it
2. Subscribe system to it and enable deploy actions on it:
   # rhn-actions-control --enable-all
3. Schedule deploy of all files on the system in webUI and make sure it happens:
   # rhn_check -vv
4. Alter deployed file:
   # date > /tmp/bz1358484
5. Run diff:
   # rhncfg-manager diff /tmp/bz1358484 -c bz1358484

Output is now correctly showing "+++" for second file:

# rhncfg-manager diff /tmp/bz1358484 -c bz1358484
