Hi Yanosz,

I usually follow the instructions to the letter - download, compile and install
just the specific binaries, and lock the util-linux on the system from
automatic updates. You won't break anything AFAIK when the system thinks it has
one of the other 2.12 series when you install the patched binaries using Jari's
instructions. I've never had any troubles.

Cheers!
