Package: patch Version: 2.7.1-4 Severity: normal Hi,
patch fails to apply a patch, because the original file and the patch have different line endings, e.g.: patching file unace.mk Hunk #1 FAILED at 27 (different line endings). 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file unace.mk.rej This happens, although patch is given the "--ignore-whitespace" parameter and line endings are nothing more than whitespace at the end of the line. Also passing the "--binary" options does not work. Please (convince upstream to) modify patch so that different line endings are ignored when it is told to ignore whitespace changes!
