Hi Steve,

Updating the first patch shouldn't be too hard; you can find information about patch systems and the way patches are added / updated at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/School/PatchingSources
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems

There might be more complete pages for specific patch systems in:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=patch&titlesearch=Titles

I'd recommend you try updating the first patch which is the easiest; see my hints in comment #10: the patch used to change two words on the section line, but only one word was fixed upstream in the new upstream release, so you still need it for the other word.

The way to go is to either recreate the patch manually or to force it's application (despite the patch not applying) and fix the conflicts.

When you're done, just attach the updated patch and I'll help you split the other patch into smaller tasks to update it.
