Hi,

diffocope fails its autopkgtest blocking testing migration both for
itself and r-base[1].

self = <<class 'abc.HtmlFile'> /tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.zwiyv6ce/downtmp/autopkgtest_tmp/tests/data/test1.html>
other = <<class 'abc.HtmlFile'> /tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.zwiyv6ce/downtmp/autopkgtest_tmp/tests/data/test1.html>
source = None

    def compare(self, other, source=None):
        difference = super().compare(other, source)
    
        # Show text-only differences as a sub-diff.
        try:
            text = Difference.from_operation(Htmltotext, self.path, other.path)
            if text is not None:
                difference.add_details([text])
        except RequiredToolNotFound as exc:  # noqa
>           difference.add_comment(exc.get_comment())
E           AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_comment'

This does not seem to have stemmed from r-base, rather some python thingy instead.
