Hi Michael,
 
 ...no, you did nothing wrong...

 "...hunk FAILED..." means: The file to be patched is to different
 from that one, from which the original patch was made.

 There is another way:
 As root edit /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh by hand (I did the same):
 In the file search for the string "seems to be moved" and then
 compare the context of that line with the text of the patch: There is
 one line to be removed and I think four or so to be added. Notging
 too complicate. Make a backup copy of ltmain.sh before. Make a diff
 afterwards and compare the output with the patch.

 If all fails: Mail me privately and we will find a solution.

 Keep hacking!
