EasyBuild fails to find patch for component when using `--from-commit`

[ocaisa]

When trying to run

eb --from-commit 7e74f85c32686a6c456d4978430de35751d6cefd Xfce-4.20-GCCcore-14.3.0.eb --rebuild

the build fails with

The file is clearly available as earlier in the log EB has actually verified the checksum:

== 2026-02-23 14:03:41,351 easyblock.py:2750 INFO Checksum verification for /tmp/eb-iroc9pj0/files_commit_7e74f85c32686a6c456d4978430de35751d6cefd/x/Xfce/xfce-terminal-1.1.5_fix_version.patch using 3a5597192091e49870c0f2358b02bfe56f25b1467669212715791fc25c977dcd passed.

but later in the log I see

== 2026-02-23 14:39:31,944 filetools.py:2086 DEBUG Not creating existing path /tmp/ocaisa/easybuild/sources/x/xfce4-terminal

This is likely a problem due to the combination of --from-commit and a component install which has it's own patch (I believe I have seen this before).
