The patch files/patch-alpine__alpine.c no longer applies to the new
version of the code.

I normally proceed by moving all non-applying patches into a seperate
directory and try if the build works:

cd ~/myp/mail/alpine
mkdir OLD
mv files/patch-alpine__alpine.c OLD/

# and retry
rm -rf work && make check-plist

If the patch is required (but different), one has to dig into the
code and find out what needs to change for the code to build.
