Building kdelibs with dpkg-buildpackage pumps out this error message when doing the patches at the beginning
APPLYING PATCH: patching file kdm/kfrontend/genkdmconf.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 803 (offset 45 lines). Hunk #2 succeeded at 2289 (offset 213 lines). Hunk #3 FAILED at 2363. Hunk #4 succeeded at 2375 with fuzz 1 (offset 213 lines). 1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file kdm/kfrontend/ genkdmconf.c.rej This seems to be fairly consistent. I don't see where the original debian/patches/*.diff files are created from and how the diff is kept in step with changes to the underlying source file. The diff file appears not to have been altered since September, whilst the background file seems to have been through loads of changes since then. -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
