Hi, I am using diffscope to compare two disk images that are created using yocto wks files that means the image has partition table and they are not comparing using diffoscope tool. Below is the debug output of diffoscope ``` $ diffoscope --debug image1.wic image2.wic 2023-02-27 14:09:09 D: diffoscope.main: Starting diffoscope 236 2023-02-27 14:09:09 D: diffoscope.presenters.formats: Will generate the following presenter formats: text 2023-02-27 14:09:09 D: diffoscope.environ: Normalising locale, timezone, etc. PATH is /srv/diffoscope/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu 2023-02-27 14:09:09 D: diffoscope.main: Starting comparison 2023-02-27 14:09:09 D: diffoscope.comparators.decompile: radare2 not found, disabling decompiler 2023-02-27 14:09:11 D: diffoscope.comparators: Loaded 90 comparator classes 2023-02-27 14:09:12 D: diffoscope.comparators.utils.specialize: image1.wic not identified by any comparator.
