Dear Kevin,

thanks for your answer.
-s is the silent option, I think you wanted to write -spN where with N
you can define a number of directories to strip, like it is explained in
the man page:

     -p strip-count, --strip strip-count
             Sets the pathname strip count, which controls how pathnames
found
             in the patch file are treated, in case you keep your files in a
             different directory than the person who sent out the
patch.  The
             strip count specifies how many slashes are to be stripped from
...

But this is not the reason, it seems that the patch has a format that
patch cannot handle or you must define some parameters I do not know.

I tried to apply the patch on the source dir of the ports directory.

Gruß
Matthias
