Bug 77262 – Problem emerging net-dialup/ppp-2.4.3-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Nigel Elliott 2005-01-09 12:18:42 UTC]

When I try to emerge ppp-2.4.3-r1 I get the following message:

* Failed Patch: fixes-from-upstream-cvs.patch!
*
* Include in your bugreport the contents of:
*
* /var/tmp/portage/ppp-2.4.3-r1/temp/fixes-from-upstream-cvs.patch-20025.out

Looking at the output file it seems it cannot apply the patch. I have included a small example of the output from the file:

***** fixes-from-upstream-cvs.patch *****

=========================================

PATCH COMMAND: patch -p0 -g0 < /usr/portage/net-dialup/ppp/files/2.4.3/fixes-from-upstream-cvs.patch

=========================================
can't find file to patch at input line 5
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

--------------------------
No file to patch. Skipping patch.

I don't know if it is my setup or a general problem with this release.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

patch fixed.
it was an unfortunate side effect of CVS commit command. 

[Comment 4 Nigel Elliott 2005-01-09 23:28:43 UTC]

Did an emerge sync and then an emerge ppp and it all worked perfectly. I am happy for the bug to be closed.
