oe uses version 0.2.31 of patchutils. i consider this a developers packages.

thats what is at the download location right now:

[ ]	patchutils-0.2.31.tar.bz2	13-Jun-2005 17:46 	143K
[ ]	patchutils-0.3.0.tar.bz2	02-Jul-2008 12:07 	146K
[ ]	patchutils-0.3.1.tar.bz2	23-Jan-2009 18:06 	155K

i was having noticeable trouble with those 5 years old version
since i am fiddling around with a relatively recent automake.
all the build behavior of patchutils was quite erratic.

staring and dealing the source package internals i reasoned
that those old version is probably not that automake compliant.
so i once took the probably most simple choice to solve it:

  cp patchutils_0.2.31.bb patchutils_0.3.1.bb

that seemingly made me succeed with that recipes family.

regards, Alex.
