Description Dan Noe 2002-09-29 12:33:04 UTC

I submitted a previous bugreport about the vim problem, but neither solution 
others reported fixed the problem.  I have tried remerging diffutils with 
extremely conservative cflags.  Nothing solves the problem.

The specific errors follow.

Sablotron:  patch: **** Overdue `---' at line 14; check line numbers at line 4

Vim: Applying patch /var/tmp/portage/vim-6.1-r13/work/6.1.001...patch: **** 
replacement text or line numbers mangled in hunk at line 22

Tetex: patch: **** Overdue `---' at line 11; check line numbers at line 5

This is a serious problem; I cannot merge any of these packages!  Any form
of assistance is appreciated.

The CFLAGS I am using (although I have tried remerging diffutils with 
conservative cflags as per Spider's recommendation) are:

CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"

I fixed the sablotron ebuild... Vim I'm working on right now, but the current
release should work.  Tetex works fine here.  Try updating diffutils maybe.

I am using the most recent version of diffutils.  This is a very puzzling
problem... I don't understand it at all.

Comment 3 Dan Noe 2002-09-30 08:03:22 UTC

Sablotron still doesn't merge.  Same error.  The updated vim doesn't merge 
either.. also a failed patch.  I'm sure this is a diffutils problem, but I 
don't know what could be wrong.  I've tried changing cflags.
