This is an ongoing issue. Probably the patch file as submitted was
correct, but SBo's git is configured to strip off LFs from any text
files checked in. Apparently this happens *after* testing and approval
is complete (otherwise whoever tested it would catch the problem).

Best solution I know for this: Maintainers, if your patches have CRLF
endings, gzip them before submitting, and have your SlackBuild do:

zcat $CWD/patchname.diff.gz | patch -p1    # or -p0 or whatever's needed
