When you are in the 'packages' directory, apply the patch with 'patch -p1', which strips the first level from the pathnames. Or if you're in the packages/net/openconnect directory, apply it with 'patch -p3'. The default output of 'git diff' or 'git show' includes these top-level a/ and b/ directories. -- dwmw2
