The patch headers look wrong, it seems the changes are from the linked
PR of which you are not the author.

The following is correct for a patch from a PR:

 Description: Move variables to prevent duplicates
 Author: Jon Burgess
 Origin: https://github.com/openstreetmap/mod_tile/pull/202

See also: https://dep-team.pages.debian.net/deps/dep3/

The file is update-link-and-path.patch, so this won't apply.

Did you use `quilt new` to create the patch?

That updates the series file automatically.

The additional fixes are not documented in the patch description.

Patches should be Forwarded upstream and marked accordingly.

lintian started checking for the recently:

 $ lintian-info -t patch-not-forwarded-upstream
 I: patch-not-forwarded-upstream
 N:
 N:   According to the DEP-3 headers, this patch has not been forwarded
 N:   upstream. Please forward the patch upstream and work with them to
 N:   ensure the patch is included in the version control system and in
 N:   the next upstream release of your package.

 N:   If this patch should not be forwarded upstream please put
 N:   not-needed in the Forwarded header.
 N:
 N:   Refer to Debian Developer's Reference section 3.1.4 (Coordination
 N:   with upstream developers) and Debian Policy Manual section 4.3
 N:   (Changes to the upstream sources) for details.
 N:
 N:   Severity: info

 N:   Check: debian/patches/dep3
 N:

The openstreetmap-tiles-update-expire changes seem appropriate to
forward upstream.

Using patches to modify files in the debian directory is not appropriate
though, those changes should be made directly.

Kind Regards,

Bas
