Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.41.12-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/filefrag
Filefrag never reports the same perfection, on top of the value being
entirely wrong:
# filefrag /mnt/gnome.raw
/mnt/gnome.raw: 3569 extents found, perfection would be -6071752 extent
# filefrag /mnt/gnome.raw
/mnt/gnome.raw: 3569 extents found, perfection would be -3105649 extent
# filefrag /mnt/gnome.raw
/mnt/gnome.raw: 3569 extents found
# filefrag /mnt/gnome.raw
/mnt/gnome.raw: 3569 extents found, perfection would be -10082393 extent
# filefrag /mnt/gnome.raw
/mnt/gnome.raw: 3569 extents found, perfection would be -18652148 extent
Looks like an uninitialized variable.

thanks
It was indeed an uninitalized variable. It was fixed in git commit
1e003cc77d43ee, which was in the 1.42-WIP-0925 release.
