Description of problem:
Trying to recompile the packages of the new kernel kernel-2.4.18-19.8 from its
source package kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm fails with:

Patch #1600 (linux-2.4.18-procfixes.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/net/natsemi.c.rej

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm
2. install it with rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0.src.rpm
3. rpmbuild -ba kernel-2.4.spec

    

Actual Results:  Patch #1600 (linux-2.4.18-procfixes.patch):
+ patch -p1 -s
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/net/natsemi.c.rej



Expected Results:  to continue the normal compilation...

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2002-12-26 17:09:31 UTC
this is extremely strange since the binaries we ship get build from the exact
same .src.rpm... are you 100% sure the kernel patches are ALL unchanged?


Comment 2 Marian-Nicolae ION 2002-12-27 12:50:12 UTC
I've downloaded again the src.rpm and I've cleaned the SOURCES directory and
now it compiles OK.
