Perhaps it would make sense to put /sbin/fsck in its own small essential package and have it depend on fsck-backend, which *fsprogs can provide. fsck does link against libext2fs, though ... it uses ext2fs_find_block_device() to get around a devfs problem. That function doesn't seem inherently ext2-specific. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
