Only garbage was found in the patch input


It seems that "cvs diff -u" creates a diff format that patch doesn't like. For example"

gsharp@stonesmith:~/projects/sripper_1x$ patch -n < my.patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.


On debian you can install a pacakge called patchutils, wich includes a program called fixcvsdiff. This doesn't work.

What is wrong???
