The patch in question is the first in the series. Maybe later patches
need also be adapted, but I cannot say that at this point.

I got a diff. I also got the final file how it should look.

This is the problem. dpatch-edit-patch does not let me do anything as
long as the out-of-sync patch is in place.
(01_build_xml is the out-of-sync patch, 01_build_xml_2 is the new patch
I want to create as a replacement; I am using the debianonly layout)
$ dpatch-edit-patch
--debianonly=/home/aschildbach/src/tarballs/libspring-2.5-java_2.5.6.orig.tar.gz 01_build_xml_2
dpatch-edit-patch:
* /home/aschildbach/src/libspring-2.5-java/debian/patches/01_build_xml_2.dpatch does not exist, it will be created as a new dpatch.
dpatch-edit-patch: * debian/-only layout selected

test -d debian/patched || install -d debian/patched
dpatch apply-all
applying patch 01_build_xml to ./ ... failed.
make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 1
Besides, if I created a new patch, how would I get rid of the old one?
Best regards,
