Package: patch Version: 2.7.3-1 Severity: serious Hi,
the latest update of patch broke the systemd package and causes it to FTBFS: dpkg-source: info: applying escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch patching symbolic link src/escape/Makefile symbolic link target '../Makefile' is invalid dpkg-source: info: the patch has fuzz which is not allowed, or is malformed dpkg-source: info: if patch 'escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch' is correctly applied by quilt, use 'quilt refresh' to update it dpkg-source: info: restoring quilt backup files for escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -E -b -B .pc/escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch/ --reject-file=- < systemd-215/debian/patches/escape-beef-up-new-systemd-escape-tool.patch gave error exit status 2 Issue is trivial to reproduce, simply run "apt-get source systemd". The patch creates a dangling symlink, which is nothing extraordinary which worked with older versions of "patch". Downgrading to the version which is currently in jessie fixes the issue. Marking as RC, since this is causing other packages to FTBFS and therefore shouldn't migrate to testing.
