That was probably a mistake. Why didn't you get it "electronically"?
For instance, if you got it from the Amanda web page, why not use "save
as" and store it in a file, then transfer that file to where the
Amanda sources are?
Using things like copy/paste or retyping the text by hand has a close to
zero chance of working. Among other things, tabs and strings of spaces
are likely to be lost, and those are critical to patch for matching the
source against the diff.

The diffs have to be **exactly** correct for the patch program to be
able to work properly. Once you get that corrected, I suspect patch
will work for you.
