Package: util-linux
Version: 2.19.1-5
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropiate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Updating some packages via dselect.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Shutting down the system normally and restarting it some hours later.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The system doesn't boot up because /sbin/fsck.ext3 (a symlink to /sbin/fsck)
fails with the following error message:

fsck from util-linux 2.19.1
fsck.ext3: symbol lookup error: fsck.ext3: undefined symbol:
set_com_err_gettext

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

A normal boot process. :-)

As workaround, I booted from the debian installer CD and replaced my system's
/sbin/fsck binary with the installer's one (explaining the "debsums errors
found").
