I am currently running Ubuntu 12.04.1 Desktop and would like to apply this patch:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpcbind/0.2.0-7ubuntu1.2

My current rpcbind version is here:

# aptitude show rpcbind
Package: rpcbind                         
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 0.2.0-7ubuntu1.1

As you can see on the patch page, I'd like to patch to this version:

Version: 0.2.0-7ubuntu1.2

However, based on the downloadable files on the patch page, I'm not sure where to start.

(directory structure of the original rpcbind source)
# find rpcbind-0.2.0 -type d
rpcbind-0.2.0
rpcbind-0.2.0/src
rpcbind-0.2.0/man

(directory structure of the patch download)
# find debian -type d
debian
debian/patches
debian/source

[EDIT] I've figured out how to apply the individual patches in the patches directory:

# patch -p1 < ../debian/patches/01-usage-fix.patch
patching file src/rpcbind.c
(and so on for each patch file)

... but I'm not sure what do with the patch-related files in the root debian folder.

Any help here?

Thanks in advance,

Linda
