The literal answer is that something ran the patch command against a = diff, but patch cannot find the file(s) it expected to update. > And more important: what to type in the keyboard for it ? Control-C...? While it is possible to enter a diff by hand, the odds approach 100% = that if you do not already know what to change, what you really want to do is cancel and then make sure your ports tree (or whatever it is you are = building) is up-to-date and does not have stale/outdated diffs lingering in the = way.
