It isn't possible to build an e2fsprogs via "make rpm" on SuSE and have it install cleanly, because they split out some of the libraries into separate packages.
We've got the current patch to the .spec file, but I'm open to discussion if it is more desirable to change the .spec to continue to build separate RPMs (though that is more of a distribution hassle and might need major changes in the .spec file).
