patchutils.i586                          0.2.30-4               base            
Matched from:
Patchutils contains a collection of tools for manipulating patch
files:
interdiff, combinediff, filterdiff, fixcvsdiff, rediff, lsdiff, and
splitdiff.

No ediff there.

> Any suggestions?

There are several programs on Freshmeat suitable for binary diffs
and patches.
