   That's correct -- based on the contents of   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file.patch   
   'patch' chooses file /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file to be patched   
   but, as you had shown in your original post, it is already patched.   
   Replace 'PATCHED' with 'BUGGED' in /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file   
   or restore /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file, which you moved, and try again.   
      
   You really should read the documentation -- for a start run command   
   "info diffutils 'merging with patch'" locally or visit:   
   https://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Merging-with-patch.html
