Re: Bug#175921: patch: patch works on i386, fails on powerpc
Hi,
Sorry I misunderstood the issue. I thought it could be reproduced under
ppc Linux. I did not understand it was a fluke event.
Why would this "fluke" be holding up X11R6 development at all if it could
not be "reproduced" even by the original submitter?
Sorry, just trying to help.
