I get this all the time. Someone suggested a way to work around it, but I've neither looked into it yet nor even retained the pointer :-( % % Here it is......... % % % can't find file to patch at input line 4 % Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option? % The text leading up to this was: % -------------------------- % |diff -durp mutt-1.3.22.1/doc/manual.sgml mutt-1.3.22.1.oe.%_.1/doc/manual.sgml % |--- mutt-1.3.22.1/doc/manual.sgml Wed Sep 5 02:52:17 2001 % |+++ mutt-1.3.22.1.oe.%_.1/doc/manual.sgml Wed Sep 5 03:01:26 2001 % -------------------------- % File to patch: Just type in doc/manual.sgml at this point; patch will continue. ... % can't find file to patch at input line 60 % Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option? % The text leading up to this was: % -------------------------- % |--- mutt-0.94.7i/patchlist.c.orig Sat Sep 19 02:29:51 1998 % |+++ mutt-0.94.7i/patchlist.c Sat Sep 19 02:54:16 1998 % -------------------------- % File to patch: Hmmm... You don't have a patchlist.c yet, so there's nothing yet to patch. I don't usually get this... Oh, wait. You need Sec's patch-0.00.sec.patchlist.8.1.dtg (well, my tweaked copy) to create patchlist.c so that later patches looking for it will apply. I still use this and roll my own patchlist.c file because, even if all patches used the PATCHES file that has returned to generate patchlist.c itself, patches applied in order 1-2-3-4-5 end up being listed in order 1-5-4-3-2 and I don't like that. % Skip this patch?
