Bug #26155 [diffutilsversion: 3.5hithe test 
tests/brief-vs-stat-zero-kernel-lies fails with    cat: 
/proc/cmdline: permission deniedif /proc/cmdline exists but is not readable. 
this is for example the case on a linux kernel with grsecurity patchset and 
option grkernsec_proc_user enabled.the fix is easy. the script 
tests/brief-vs-stat-zero-kernel-lies checks in line 13 only for exists (test 
-f) of $boot (= /proc/cmdline):    test -f $boot || skip_ no 
$boot filemaking it check for readability (test -r) solves the problem (as the 
test is now correctly skipped):    test -r $boot || skip_ file 
$boot not readablekind regardsjulama] Test brief-vs-stat-zero-kernel-lies fails
