Preamble: My system adminstrator for our debian servers says he's installed a patch I need for a specific piece of software. For some reason it doesn't work. (I emailed it to him as an attachment from mutt, it's a .gz.0 file.) The install didn't "fail", but the patch doesn't work. The system administrator is now refusing to look into the problem.
Question: I have sudo on the server. I know how to apt-get install; I know how to install from source. I don't know how to install a patch. I have access to both the gz and gz.0 versions of the patch. If a patch has already been applied, can it be applied again, or do you have to start from scratch? Can someone give me some very barbie-basic instructions on how to do this? Assume the patch has been scp-ed to the server, but assume nothing else.
