[Openembedded-users] Problem with patch version 2.6.1-7 and after

[Terry Barnaby]

Hi,

I am getting the error:

NOTE: Applying patch 'arm-thumb-mutex_db5.patch' 
(openembedded/recipes/db/db-5.1.19/arm-thumb-mutex_db5.patch)
ERROR: Execution of 'quilt 
--quiltrc=/scratch/OpenEmbeddedNew/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/quiltrc push' 
failed with exit code 1:
Applying patch arm-thumb-mutex_db5.patch
patch: **** rejecting target file name with ".." component: ../src/dbinc/mutex_int.h
Patch arm-thumb-mutex_db5.patch does not apply (enforce with -f)

ERROR: Function 'patch_do_patch' failed

This appears to be due to a security enhancement made to the patch utility
relatively recently. Is there a known clean way of fixing this and where
should I report the bug ?
