Bug#930581: root-tail: buggy patch in debian package

[Marc Lehmann <debian-reportbug@plan9.de>]

Package: root-tail
Version: 1.2-4
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

while preparing release 1.3 of root-tail, I had a look at various
distribution packages for potential bugfixes.

While doing so, I found that debian has a patch that actually introduces a
bug:

   config.h.patch Description: Use proper X fonts selector

This replaces the correct value for the font pattern by an incorrect one
(USE_FONT specified a font name, not a "X fonts selector", which, as far
as I know, does not exist in X).

While the effect is likely small on modenr systems, it nevertheless can
lead to fonts being skipped that would normally be found when using the
correct value, or even lead to no fonts being found at all when they would
otherwise be found.

Please consider removing the buggy patch.

Thanks!
