Package: apt
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: normal
when using "apt-get source packagename" there is no verification that "/usr/bin/patch" is available. If it isn't the apt-get fails to finish unloading the tarballs. Installing patch fixes the problem. apt appears to be missing a dependency.
dpkg-source: extracting glibc in glibc-2.1.2
dpkg-source: failure: exec patch: No such file or directory
dpkg-source: failure: patch gave error exit status 2
Unpack command 'dpkg-source -x glibc_2.1.2-8.dsc' failed.
E: Child process failed
debppc:/usr/src/packages/glibc# type patch
su: type: patch: not found
The above is w/o patch installed. Below is what what happens when it's installed.

I agree with Wichert. Furthermore APT only suggests dpkg-dev because
it is unecessary for anything but the source function.
