[rancid] FW: expect-rancid-ubuntu804lts.patch

[Chris Gauthier]

John,

I updated the patch file on the website to reflect the proper line
numbers, etc for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Server) using the expect 5.43.0-14
source package.  I am not sure how to contribute this to Ubuntu to get
it into their normal build process, but, there's a current patch file
for Ubuntu-loving rancid users, though!

Btw, rebuilding this expect is a PITA. :-|

Happy Friday,
