[Python-modules-team] Bug#824879: elasticsearch-curator debian/patches/ causing build problems.

[Volchak, Zakhar (Zach)]

Package: elasticsearch-curator
Version: 3.5.1-1

 When trying to build this package with "debuild -uc -us", it throws
an error that is caused by the debian/patches/ of this version. Of
what I understand, the patch is being applied in the previous
version, but patches/ was not removed in the current version.
Thus, when trying to build, dpkg-buildpackage is trying to apply
patch that is already applied and throws an error.:


dpkg-source: info: the patch has fuzz which is not allowed, or is malformed
dpkg-source: info: if patch 'setup.py-read-README-utf-8' is correctly applied by quilt, use 'quilt refresh' to update it
dpkg-source: error: LC_ALL=C patch -t -F 0 -N -p1 -u -V never -g0 -E -b -B .pc/setup.py-read-README-utf-8/ --reject-file=- < source.orig.hFq4PZ/debian/patches/setup.py-read-README-utf-8 gave error exit status 1

Seems like removing debian/patches/ folder preserves the changes
of the patch and is able to build successfully.  (running 'quilt refresh'
didn't solve the problem)

I am using  "debuild 2.15.3" and "lintian v2.5.30+deb8u4"
