I got the other issue (when the patched file does not exists), but I fail to
reproduce this one:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir q
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# mkdir patches
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# touch patches/empty
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# echo empty > patches/series
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# quilt push
Applying patch empty
Patch empty appears to be empty; applied

Now at patch empty
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# 

(in an unstable chroot, this time, where I manage to reproduce dan's issue ;)

Bye, Mt.
