Related to issue1796 is this error message when we try to apply the following sequence of patches > A ./src/GHF/GUI/ > ./src/GHF -> ./src/Ghf > ./src/Ghf/gui -> ./src/Ghf/GUI AnchoredPath [Name "src",Name "Ghf",Name "GUI"] exists. The error message should probably join back the path in question -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
