[Bug 1756238] Re: gdebi-gtk broken in 18.04 error: unable to read filedescriptor flags

[Martin Wimpress]

Looks like 91_keep_fds.patch was something that never made it upstream
when originally added.

vte (1:0.25.91-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/91_keep_fds.patch:
    - Update and return patch that hadn't been applied upstream (LP: #620297)
