e2fsprogs is essential, so the transitional package would do nothing. And for pointing users to where the functionality is a transitional package (that would anyway be gone after some time) is not of much help - more relevant for users are the results of Google searches for terms like "ext2 undeletion". If you really want to reach users, more appropriate places for pointing at debugfs would be (based on the Google search results I get): http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Ext2fs-Undeletion.html http://e2undel.sourceforge.net/ These would be the relevant places, but in practice ext2 usage has become so rare that it is not really worth the effort. > Regards > > Javier cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
