Package: libblockdev-fs2 Version: 2.25-2 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbd_fs.so.2.0.0
libblockdev-fs2 Depends e2fsprogs because it calls dumpe2fs &c. This was done per https://bugs.debian.org/887270 AFAICT there is a run-time check for this: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=bd_fs_ext_is_tech_avail In other words, dumpe2fs isn't found in $PATH, libblockdev-fs2 will print an obvious error, instead of e.g. segfaulting. Therefore, can you downgrade e2fsprogs from Depends to Recommends? In a prison where USB keys are banned, this will let me support trash:// (via "gvfs" package), without shipping ext4 tools. I can work around this with a dummy package, so if there's a good counter-argument, I can live with the status quo. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libblockdev-fs2:amd64 depends on: ii e2fsprogs 1.46.2-2 ii libblkid1 2.36.1-8 ii libblockdev-part-err2 2.25-2 ii libblockdev-utils2 2.25-2 ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.66.8-1 ii libmount1 2.36.1-8 ii libparted-fs-resize0 3.4-1 ii libparted2 3.4-1 libblockdev-fs2:amd64 recommends no packages. libblockdev-fs2:amd64 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
