This resolved the problem for me. At least at this point I can unpack
hello ok. Shouldn't dpkg have a depends added for this? I have not
understood your reluctance to add depends for patch and diff as well. If
they really aren't dependencies, souldn't they be recommended or
suggested? If not there should, at least be some mention of their
usefulness in the description somewhere.
