Thanks Ken. I hope you've seen that I was completely wrong with this
message. It's not e2fsprog, but util-linux, which links against libudev
on second pass. I thought I had sent a message about that, but I cannot

means I have not found something wrong in them yet. But some of them
are not solved...
