Bug#911446: diffoscope: pdf comparator no longer diffing metadata

[Reiner Herrmann]

Version: 103

Hi,

I just noticed on some packages on tests.r-b.o with PDF differences that
metadata like /CreationDate and /ID are no longer shown as a plaintext
diff, but as a binary/hex diff instead.
An example is this diff:
 https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/bibtool.html

With the version in stretch (78) this is working and I get nice diffs like:

 -/ModDate (D:20180223070913-12'00')
 +/ModDate (D:20180224090913+14'00')
 -/CreationDate (D:20180223070913-12'00')
 +/CreationDate (D:20180224090913+14'00')
 -/ID [<549377c76efe92fafc6a5825704410a3> <549377c76efe92fafc6a5825704410a3>]
 +/ID [<fec1ddadfcc55ebe2c00f662d2b60888> <fec1ddadfcc55ebe2c00f662d2b60888>]
