That's be more informative indeed. "old vector" doesn't fit.

Yes, it lacks topology and I know this, as I wrote in the report: "1 of the 2
vectors I wanted to v.patch was open in v.digit". This is not a problem (my
fault trying to patch a vector being open in v.digit). The only problem I'm
reporting here is that a wrong error information is issued by v.patch in such
case - mentioning some "old vector". And above you have proposed a good
replacement for the message. Would be cool if could be applied.

Thanks.
