Lots of those which are not ext2-specific (blkid for example) have been split out or moved to util-linux-ng. So thanks for dropping that :) I should probably go on a hunt for other misguided requirements on e2fsprogs these days. -Eric > So, the next release in rawhide will be better. > > Bill -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
