Compiled the wrong patches. [Not as in the errata]
I am using the LFS-BOOK-20171203-systemd-NOCHUNKS version. I only recently read the errata and several patches seems to be the wrong ones. I have already compiled several patches that came with the wget-list. Also, this was not mentioned in the errata, but several packages differ in the versions in the book from those downloaded from the wget-list. So I downloaded these separately and compiled as mentioned in the book. Should I redo since many of the patches that I've used have different versions from the errata? Edit: 7.8 systemd version
if I was doing this, and had the sources that match the guild you're using I'd use them. If that means removing the other stuff then I'd do that.
using updated source should not be a bad thing, but it too may conflict with whatever else that guild is having you installing. So yes, I would play it safe and remove and do over with the same version that the guild is using.
So using the versions that came with the wget list wouldn't result in errors right?
I'm so confused as the versions differ in the guide and in the wget-list.

I read though that LFS once, I think it said something about versioning within it somewhere. Using the latest version of the guild too was important. as far as calling for the versions of software needed to compile with wget.
If wget can get the versions you're telling it to get then let wget get what it gets. It should not cause an issue. if you cannot get it with wget, try a different means, the importance should be placed on the versions of software source code you are using not the method you're obtaining them.
