[gentoo-user] libgpod comment bug

[ddjones]

I'm reemerging Amarok after adding the ipod flag and libgpod fails to install 
due to bug 537968.  

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537968

There's a patch for the bug, which I've copied, but it's not being applied:

root@kushiel /etc/portage/patches/media-libs/libgpod # cat libgpod-swig-
comment-fix.patch

I'm using the instructions found here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349707#c11

However, it doesn't look like portage is even recognizing the patch:

>>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/libgpod-0.8.3/work
>>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/media-
libs/libgpod-0.8.3/work/libgpod-0.8.3 ...
>>> Source prepared.

Any hints or suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Looking at the ebuild, it is not enabled for epatch_user,

http://euscan.gentooexperimental.org/files/gentoo/media-libs/libgpod-0.8.3.ebuild

Thank you.  First time I'd tried to use that method of patching and I wasn't 
aware it had to be enabled in the ebuild.  Creating an /etc/portage/bashrc as 
directed in your link solved the issue.
