There were some issues with package update CI build jobs failing once diffutils 
3.12 was promoted to current stable, not reproducible on desktop builds, so Jon 
kindly flipped the test switch, so I can have time to try to reproduce and fix 
the issue under CI, and see if there is a way to reproduce and fix it on the 
desktop.
