Okay, I was just looking at this, and it looks like everyone's away on

I get this far. However, when I attempt to push the patch, I get the
following error:

christine@Freyja:~/shadow-4.0.3/debian$ quilt push 132_vi.dpatch
Applying patch 001_Makefile.in.in.dpatch
can't find file to patch at input line 30
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------

<snip patch spam>

|--- shadow-4.0.3.orig/po/Makefile.in.in
|+++ shadow-4.0.3/po/Makefile.in.in
--------------------------
No file to patch.  Skipping patch.
3 out of 3 hunks ignored
Patch 001_Makefile.in.in.dpatch does not apply (enforce with -f)


So, when I untar the orig.tar.gz file in a fresh dir, where does the
copied debian/ go in relationship to the new folder containing the
shadow source? I've tried in a couple different places - in the fresh
dir, e.g. 'foo/debian' where the shadow source is 'foo/shadow-4.0.3',
placing the copied debian/ in the untarred source like it would appear
normally, i.e. 'shadow-4.0.3/debian' (as in above), etc.

Is there something else to the command that I've missed, or am I doing
something wrong in another way?
