Hmm... Works for me. Here is a trace of the important bits. $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-4.0.tar.gz $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-4.0.tar.gz.sig $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-4.0-patches/bash40-001 $ wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bash/bash-4.0-patches/bash40-001.sig $ gpg bash-4.0.tar.gz.sig gpg: Signature made Mon 09 Mar 2009 08:32:40 AM MDT using DSA key ID 64EA74AB gpg: Good signature from "Chet Ramey <c...@cwru.edu>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.

Primary key fingerprint: 7C01 35FB 088A AF6C 66C6 50B9 BB58 69F0 64EA 74AB The key point there with a good signature we know that the patches are not corrupted. The signature step would detect this. The key is the same key used on all of the patches. The patches match those posted to the mailing list. Those patches probably came from Chet. :-) $ tar xzf bash-4.0.tar.gz $ cd bash-4.0 $ patch -p0 < ../bash40-001 patching file parse.y patching file patchlevel.h $ patch --version patch 2.5.9 Works for me. $ sha1sum bash40-001 bash-4.0.tar.gz dc47d547bec938afcd7b382816fec84077f3412f bash40-001 2bbed30879f9f424c091a846a48111c27d0b2370 bash-4.0.tar.gz I would check that your downloaded patch files are not corrupted for some reason. I would check that line endings are respected and for similar things that might confuse things. I am not familiar with using lynx as a downloader although I am sure it is fine for the task. But at a guess I would think that would be the place to start to look for problems. Bob
