Hi,

I'm trying apply patch to an upstream debian package

recipe looks like:

inherit dpkg

SRC_URI = "apt://${PN} \

file://files/mypatch.patch \

"

during  do_dpkg_build, I've got the error:

 dpkg-source -I --before-build nano-2.9.3

dpkg-buildpackage: info: host architecture amd64

 fakeroot debian/rules clean

dh clean --parallel

   dh_clean -O--parallel

 dpkg-source -I -b nano-2.9.3

dpkg-source: info: using source format '3.0 (quilt)'

dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:

 nano-2.9.3/src/utils.c

dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes, see /tmp/nano_2.9.3-1.diff.rSd68A

dpkg-buildpackage: error: dpkg-source -I -b nano-2.9.3 subprocess returned exit status 2

How fix it ? 

Can you confirm that patching an upstream package is supported ?
