Rails - Mar 2006 - Logger::Format not defined (NameError) [NOOB]

I have just installed apache2 / php4 / mysql and RoR on a clean and 
minimal Ubuntu (5.10) server.

I have set up a test site and can reach the "Welcome on board" index 
page.

However when I run "ruby script/generate contoller firsttest" I get
the
following error.

./script/../config/../vendor/activesupport/lib/active_support/clean_logger.rb:13:in
`remove_const'': constant Logger::Format not defined (NameError)
        from 
./script/../config/../vendor/activesupport/lib/active_support/clean_logger.rb:13
        from 
./script/../config/../vendor/activesupport/lib/active_support.rb:31
        from ./script/../config/environment.rb:50
        from script/generate:4

I believe that this can be patched using this patch at 
http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/2245

Two questions.  Is this the right course of action and (as a complete 
newbie) how do you apply a patch?

Thanks for any assistance.

OK... Sorry to waste everyones time... I have solved this myself by 
engaging my brain.  For anyone else with the same problem here is the 
fix.

Edit the file ./vendor/activesupport/lib/active_support/clean_logger.rb 
(the clue is in the error message!!) and comment out the line 13 so that 
it reads:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
require ''logger''

class Logger #:nodoc:
  # Silences the logger for the duration of the block.
  def silence(temporary_level = Logger::ERROR)
    old_logger_level, self.level = level, temporary_level
    yield
  ensure
    self.level = old_logger_level
  end

  private
#    remove_const "Format"
    Format = "%s\n"
    def format_message(severity, timestamp, msg, progname)
      Format % [msg]
    end
end
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The error message was produced because the constant Format did not exist 
and therefore cannot be removed!!
