http://j.kaolin.hn.org/arch/2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED] rhythmbox--bugs--0.9 patch-25 is the original branch the patch came from, although most people have been getting it via it's inclusion in the "merge" branch. I've checked that the problem occurs in the original branch, so it isn't a problem that was caused when the patch got merged into another branch. Don't worry if you haven't got the time, it's not much of a problem to say "use tla >= 1.2.1". > Of course, natural statement is, since tla-1.2.1 and 1.3 work, use them. :) Yeah, that's the plan. > Also, what version did he use to *generate* these patches?

If the id is the "arch-tag" bit at the top of every file (I'm kind of a newbie at Arch), then yes - those two files do have double-quote in their ids. I'm not sure why the problem wouldn't have shown up with any other patch that changes one of those files (they've been around for a fair while), but it would help to explain the problem.
