Bug Description

thatch used to work for me (fedora 20 I believe). But now I install it, and it shows the eye and nothing more.

here's the console output:

Here's a debdiff fix using a reverse patch of patch in #4. I could not use bzr lp-propose as it says:
bzr: ERROR: source package https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu/xenial/+source/phatch has no branch.
