Bug#629824: meld: missing dependency on patch

[Julian Taylor]

Package: meld
Version: 1.5.0-0ubuntu1
Severity: normal

meld/vc/_vc.py:111 hardcodes the use of patch.

patch is not listed as a dependency of meld.
This causes following backtrace when doing meld . in a svn repo.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/task.py", line 130, in iteration
     ret = task()
   File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/vcview.py", line 385, in run_diff_iter
     self.show_patch(prefix, patch)
   File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/vcview.py", line 522, in show_patch
     if misc.write_pipe(patchcmd, patch) == 0:
   File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/misc.py", line 245, in write_pipe
     proc = subprocess.Popen(command, stdin=subprocess.PIPE,
