Installing a plugin for quodlibet as a patch I'm trying to update a plugin for quodlibet. I fetched a `.patch` file from here. I navigate into the directory where the plugin is placed /usr/share/pyshared/quodlibet/plugins/events and copy in the `.patch` file. Then I run the command sudo patch -b notify.py new-notify-plugin.patch which gives me patching file notify.py Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file notify.py.rej The `.rej` file contains the whole content of the `.patch` file, just the first three lines changed to --- notify.py +++ notify.py What I am doing wrong in this case?

You don't have the same version of notify.py that the patch was written for, and the differences between the file you have and the file the patch expected are too great for `patch` to figure out how to apply the patch to your version.
