Package: convertfs
Version: 20050113-1
Severity: normal

convertfs looks for mkreiserfs. This is fine when the "reiserfsprogs"
package is installed, because that contains /sbin/mkreiserfs.

However the "progsreiserfs" package installs it as /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs
instead, so it's not found, and convertfs won't convert to reiserfs.

Suggested fix: in find_mkfs() check for the presence of
/sbin/mkreiserfs or /sbin/mkfs.reiserfs, save it to a variable, and
refer to that afterwards. I'll prepare a patch if you want.

thanks,
Dave
