Sorry for long delay (holidays, flu, priority ... and my lack of 
practics in patching/compiling code).
I created a new VM and I am testing.

I downloaded the .src.rpm (alpine-2.25-2.el9.src.rpm), rebuilded 
it (the original), without problems. Now, I have extracted the

alpine-2.25.tar.xz and I am trying to apply the patch using the command:

[paolo at rl009 SOURCES]$ patch -p0 < ~/maildir.patch
patching file alpine-2.25/alpine/alpine.c
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

Is it the right syntax?

  Thanks,

                                     Paolo
