incredible,
No patches succeed. It checks for the dependancy patches, confirms they exist, skipps them, then begins to apply 119254-73...Then crashes. I will try to install 119254-73 manually rather than through the 10_Recommended update and let you know if it takes.

I manually installed 119254-73 and it installed successfully. I then ran the 10_Recommeneded update and it failed on the next patch install (7 of 191). It looks like it's the "installcluster" script that is failing. I don't know if this matters, but when I manually installed 119254-73 I did not go into single user mode but I am in single user mode for the cluster update. Could there be some service or proccess turned off in single user mode that is available is normal mode that the install process requires?

rredtool
RREDTOOL(1) REPREPRO RREDTOOL(1)
NAME
rredtool - merge or apply a very restricted subset of ed patches
SYNOPSIS
rredtool --help
rredtool [ options ] --merge patches...
rredtool [ options ] --patch file-to-patch patches...
rredtool directory newfile oldfile mode
DESCRIPTION
rredtool is a tool to handle a subset of ed patches in a safe way. It is especially targeted at ed patches as used in Packages.diff and
Sources.diff. Is also has a mode supposed to be called from reprepro as Index Hook to generate and update a Packages.diff/Index file.
MODI
One of the following has to be given, so that rredtool know that to do.
--version
Print the version of this tool (or rather the version of reprepro which it is coming with).
--help Print a short overview of the modi.
--patch
The first argument of rredtool is the file to patch, the other arguments are ed patches to apply on this one.
--merge
The arguments are treated as ed patches, which are merged into a single one.
--reprepro-hook (or no other mode flag)
Act as reprepro index hook to manage a Packages.diff/index file. That means it expects to get exactly 4 arguments and writes the
names of files to place into filedescriptor 3.
If neither --patch nor --merge is given, this mode is used, so you can just put
DebIndices: Packages Release . .gz /usr/bin/rredtool
into reprepro's conf/distributions file to have a Packages.diff directory generated. (Note that you have to generate an uncom-
pressed file (the single dot). You will need to have patch, gzip and gunzip available in your path.)
OPTIONS
--debug
Print intermediate results or other details that might be interesting when trying to track down bugs in rredtool but not intresting
otherwise.
--max-patch-count=count
When generating a Packages.diff/Index file, put at most count patches in it (not counting possible apt workaround patches).
-o|--output
Not yet implemented.
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR, TEMPDIR
temporary files are created in $TEMPDIR if set, otherwise in $TMPDIR if set, otherwise in /tmp/.
REPORTING BUGS
