It is an error generated by patch. If you would open the .patch file, you’d see that it’s organized in a bunch of segments, so-called “hunks”. Every hunk identifies corresponding pieces of code (by line numbers) in the old and new version, the differences between those pieces of code, and similarities between them (the “context”).
A hunk might fail if the similarities of a hunk don’t match what’s in the original file. When you see this error, it is almost always because you’re using a patch for the wrong version of the code you’re patching. There are a few ways to work around this:
- Get an updated version of
libdvdnavthat already includes the patch (best option). - Get a
.patchfile for the version oflibdvdnavyou’re patching. - Patch manually. For every hunk in the patch, try to locate the corresponding file and lines in
libdvdnav, and correct them according to the instructions in the patch. - Take the version of
libdvdnavthat’s closer to whatever version the.patchfile was intended for (probably a bad idea).
