GNU Patch version?

["Edwin Vane" <revane gmail com>]

Hi,

Using meld today I came across an error dialogue unexpectedly that read:

Invoking patch failed, you need GNU patch.
'patch --strip=0 --reverse --directory=/tmp/tmpfsGU0V-meld'

I have GNU patch 2.5.9 installed (the most current available to Ubuntu
Gutsy). I can't immediately see anything weird about this file but I
can look into it later if you guys don't have something obvious to
suggest right now. Run from the command-line I get this Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/meld/task.py", line 131, in iteration
    ret = task()
  File "/usr/lib/meld/vcview.py", line 303, in run_diff_iter
    self.show_patch(prefix, patch)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/vcview.py", line 446, in show_patch
    misc.run_dialog( _("Invoking patch failed, you need GNU patch.")+
"\n'%s'"%" ".join(patchcmd), parent=self)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/misc.py", line 49, in run_dialog
    d.set_transient_for(parent.widget.get_toplevel())
TypeError: parent should be a GtkWindow or None
