rej file not being generated

[Voiper99]

Hi all, when performing a dry run for my PIA install, I received this message:

Code: Select all

patching file include/top_graph_header.php
Hunk #2 FAILED at 55.
Hunk #5 FAILED at 117.
Hunk #6 FAILED at 145.
3 out of 6 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/top_graph_header.php.rej
patching file include/top_header.php

However, when I tried to find the .rej file to see what was wrong, I could not find it.

Code: Select all

/var/www/cacti# find / -name top_graph_header.php.rej

I ran the dry run with root permissions so I assume that the file should have had no issues being created?

Thanks everyone.

--dry-run does not create any files, even .rej files.

--dry-run does not create any files, even .rej files.

Ah ok, thanks for the info. What does the "saving rejects to file include/top_graph_header.php.rej" line mean then? And how does the .rej files get created/how does one find out what errors occurred before applying the patches?

[Linegod]

IIRC, run patch without --dry-run and use the '-o' switch.

ah ok, thanks for that
