Public bug reported:

I have been struggling to get the nvidia driver working on my system. A common debug/resolution suggestion that I've read is to uninstall/reinstall. The reinstall failed as I didn't have the "patch" package installed.
<log/>
/usr/sbin/dkms: line 35: patch: command not found
Error! Application of patch nvidia-rt-compat.patch failed.
</log>

"Patch" should be included as a depends for nvidia-180-kernel-source.
Alternatively, I've read in a few places that nvidia-rt-compat.patch may
not be necessary; if that were the case the whole patch could be removed
and this bug would no longer exist.

Kubuntu 9.04
2.6.28-15-generic
nvidia-180-kernel-source ver. 180-44
