 Hi,

 I am not familiar with the process so I may have got this wrong somewhere.

 I applied above patch after manually stepping through the fetch, checksum,
 extract, patch steps. The package configured successfully, and proceeded
 without error through the manual steps of build and destroot, but it
 failed in test with:
