Description of problem: The dwm-start script uses the patch utility to apply all patches located in the $HOME/.dwm/patches/ directory to the dwm sources before rebuilding the dwm binary, but neither the dwm-user package nor any of its few dependencies require the patch utility to be installed in the system. This may be a problem, because not all Fedora spins install this utility by default (Fedora 19 Xfce Spin does not). As a consequence, an attempt to build the dwm binary on such a system fails with an error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dwm-user-6.0-7.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add a patch to the $HOME/.dwm/patchees/ directory and make sure that the dwm binary can be built with it. 2. Remove the patch package. 3. Delete the $HOME/.dwm/dwm binary. 4. Start a new dwm-user session. Actual results: Unless there is an older build of the dwm binary in the $HOME/.dwm/ directory, any attempt to start the dwm-user session silently fails. Expected results: The dwm-user package should always install the patch utility as a dependency to prevent this error. Additional info: None.
