Package: linux-kbuild-4.14
Version: 4.14.12-2
User: helm...@debian.org
Usertags: nonessentiale2fsprogs
Dear maintainer,
We want to make removing e2fsprogs from installations possible. For standard
installations this is not useful, but embedded applications and chroots benefit
from such an option. For getting there all packages that use e2fsprogs must be
identified and gain a dependency on it as e2fsprogs currently is essential.
linux-kbuild-4.14 was identified as potentially needing such a dependency,
because it mentions tool names from e2fsprogs in the following files:
/usr/lib/linux-kbuild-4.14/scripts/ver_linux contains tune2fs. According to
file it is a awk script, ASCII text executable
Please investigate whether these cases are actually uses of a tool from
e2fsprogs. Care has been taken to shrink the number of candidates as much as
possible, but a few false positives will remain. After doing so, do one of the
following:
* Add e2fsprogs to Depends.
* Add e2fsprogs to Recommends.
* Close this bug explaining why e2fsprogs is not used by this package.
Once e2fsprogs drops the "Essential: yes" flag, this bug will be upgraded to RC
severity. Please note that lintian will warn about such a dependency before
lintian 2.5.56.
Thanks for your help
Helmut

Hi
This bug was filed for a (very) old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution. Maybe it was for a feature enablement which nobody
acted on. We are sorry we were not able to timely deal with this issue.
There are many open bugs for the src:linux package and thus we are
closing older bugs where it's unclear if they still occur in newer
versions and are still relevant to the reporter. For an overview see:
https://bugs.debian.org/src:linux .
If you can reproduce your issue with
- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports
or, if it was a feature addition/wishlist and still consider it
relevant, then:
Please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.
Please try to provide as much fresh details including kernel logs where
relevant. In particular were an issue is coupled with specific hardware we
might ask you to do additional debugging on your side as the owner of the
hardware.
Regards,
Salvatore
