Package: dpatch
Version: 2.0.11
Severity: normal

Hi,

dpatch doesn't seem to abort the package build proces when one of the
patches fail. It silently continues, leading to grave bugs in packages
like 297607.

I would expect dpatch to abort my package build process in this case.

At the least, I would expect dpatch to issue a prominent warning about
the failed patch. Instead, it drops it into debian/patched:

patching file src/daemon.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 45 with fuzz 1 (offset 3 lines).
Hunk #2 FAILED at 672.
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file src/daemon.c.rej

Please consider changing dpatch's behavior here.

Greetings
Marc
