Dear Maintainer,


On upgrading from buster to bullseye I note that latexdiff is now
affected with a bug which causes it to emit latex source which
does not compile, if the original source contained \cite{} (or indeed
\citep{} and \citet{}). The bug has been reported elsewhere and is described
clearly and in some detail at

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/574280/latexdiff-with-cite-commands-gives-output-with-apparently-mismatched-braces

The stackexchange discussion provides a minimal working example and notes why
the bug occurs. It also suggests work-arounds.

Best wishes

Hugh Pumphrey
