I am using diffutils 2.7.7 and it appears to be working fine.
Could it be diffutils?

I'll manually install 2.8.4 to see.

[Comment 3 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-09-25 21:51:12 UTC]

diffutils 2.8.4 seems to work just fine for me.

[Comment 4 Hannes Mehnert (RETIRED) 2002-09-25 21:59:21 UTC]

maybe your ${FILESIDR}/vimpatch.tar.bz2 is corrupt? please delete it and do an 
emerge sync with the new rsynced vimpatch.tar.bz2. 

[Comment 5 Dan Noe 2002-09-25 22:09:58 UTC]

Deleted vimpatch.tar.bz2, re-synced the tree, still getting the same problem :(

I had a similar problem with tetex, same machine.  Any other ideas?

Bit of the patch/line number in question (I could attach the whole file, as 
well, if you want, but it looks alright to me.):

What's the md5sum of vimpatch.tar.bz2 and 6.1_patches.80.84.diff ?

i just updated diffutils. same error

[Comment 9 Jon Nelson (RETIRED) 2002-09-26 00:41:53 UTC]

And I'm completely up to date with *no* problems.

[Comment 10 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-09-26 01:06:32 UTC]

Brett has submitted a new patches for vim upto 197.... Can you guys test?

[Comment 11 Ryan Phillips (RETIRED) 2002-09-26 01:12:10 UTC]

oops forgot... see bug #8400 for the patch file

[Comment 12 Dan Noe 2002-09-27 10:58:47 UTC]

I have the correct md5sums for both.  I've removed both files and resynced
the portage tree.  Now emerge -p -u vim shows an upgrade to python and tk 
first?

Same problem;

6.1.146
Applying patch /var/tmp/portage/vim-6.1-r13/work/6.1.001...patch: ****

Is there some reason why the most recent diffutils would have problems?
The tetex package has generated similar errors, but only certain versions.
When I submitted a bug report, it was recommended that I unmask a more recent
version of tetex and try.  Sure enough, it worked, but the next time tetex was
updated along with world, it wouldn't patch.  Spider, can you merge the latest
tetex?

[Comment 13 Spider (RETIRED) 2002-09-27 17:07:14 UTC]

re-emerge of patch and diffutils with -O2 instead of -O3 solved this

gcc 3.2 , please note, -O3 can bring failures
