   You did run a  "diff /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file" (ignoring what ever options you provided)   
      
   The patch file (file.patch) will have the instruction of making the   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file based on your   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file, so when you run the patch command it   
   will notice that the changes already has been applied to   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file and asking if you want to remove the   
   changes so that you get a /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file that is   
   looking like  /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file.   
      
   I guess you want to patch the /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file then it's   
   simplest to go into /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged and use the -p option to   
   make the patch command to ignore the directories.   
      
   Another alternative could be "cp -a /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/patched/file   
   /tmp/tmp.YI0xO6M46g/bugged/file"
