[Bug 81798] Re: [apport] democracyplayer crashed with TypeError in __new__()

[Bill Hand]

How would one go about installing this patch?  I have tried several 
different ways and it keeps saying it can't find the files...  I copied 
the patch to:  /usr/share/python-support/democracyplayer/democracy

and issued the command:  sudo patch -b 
</usr/share/python-support/democracyplayer/democracy/democracy.patch

and I keep getting:
