[Debian-science-sagemath] Bug#844789: gap: Please discard d/p/fix-compressed-six-files patch

[Jerome Benoit]

Package: gap
Version: 4r8p3-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

	the Sage[Math] [1] gap interface currently fails to invoke help (? Whatever)
	when the involved manual.six file is compressed and has the default format:
	a closer look shows that the very first character is eatean, hence the failure.
	Removing the patch debian/patches/fix-compressed-six-files fixes the issue,
	while its seems to not affect GAP itself. Unfortunately, I have not yet
	figured a simple way not involing Sage[Math] doctests to reproduce the issue.
	Please consider to discard this patch in order to render Sage[Math] ready
	before the freeze.

Thanks in advance,
Jerome
