Missing dependency on patch

[Adam Collard]

Binary package hint: meld

Meld should depend on patch. If patch is not installed then the following traceback is seen when attempting to view a diff of a file.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/meld/task.py", line 131, in iteration
    ret = task()
  File "/usr/lib/meld/vcview.py", line 302, in run_diff_iter
    self.show_patch(prefix, patch)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/vcview.py", line 441, in show_patch
    misc.write_pipe(patchcmd, patch)
  File "/usr/lib/meld/misc.py", line 189, in write_pipe
    pipe.tochild.close()
IOError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Thanks Adam for you patch. To go ahead, next time, you can generate a full debdiff. Check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes/Debdiff for more informations on how to do that. That way, a sponsor (like me), will only have to apply your patch and get it uploaded.

Thanks for contributing!
