In dired I hit ESC =, and see:
diff-backup: No backup found for
/var/lib/apt/lists/debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages

Ha! I bet the long file name fooled it, as both
debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages
debian.linux.org.tw_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-i386_Packages~
exist.

When I put the cursor on the backup, it works.

When I touch the same long filenames into /tmp, they both work.
