Description Christian Heim (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2007-05-23 19:25:52 UTC

When a patch (or diff) contains a pattern to remove a file from the working dir, the epatch will fail due to:

patching file support/Makefile.in
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
File support/Makefile.in is not empty after patch, as expected
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file support/Makefile.in.rej

While applying the *same* patch w/ plain "patch" works just fine and removes the file as expected.

you're looking at the wrong error message ... the problem is:
Hunk #1 FAILED at 1.
