      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Enabling a PMDA and restarting pmcd yields an error in the logs (but PCP starts fine), as pmdaproc.sh tries to use `diff` even if it might not be installed as the package has no dependency on `diffutils`.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen: pcp-5.3.7-18.el8.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      Steps to reproduce

      1.  touch /var/lib/pcp/pmdas/redis/.NeedInstall
      2.  systemctl restart pmcd
      3.  

      Expected results

      no errors in logs

      Actual results
