Comment 5 for bug 1643129

Jeremy, thank you for the debdiff.

I tried to apply it, but it does not build.

First, I have downloaded the current version on Zesty and applied the debdiff to it. This worked perfectly, but when trying to build, the patches in debian/patches/series do not apply.

What did I do wrong?

Here is the console output:
