I was in the backend directory and had gotten past the problem you
quoted. What I was asking about was:
File to patch: avision.c
patching file avision.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 9: All the many
other beta-tester and debug-log sender ;-)
I don't know why the patch was malformed. The text it was complaining
about was:
Index: avision.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/external/sane/sane-backends/backend/avision.c,v
