Marc, Briefly just to let you know I'm working on a PPA for bionic e2fsprogs backport to xenial, will update when thats' ready. Turns out that:- (a) Ubuntu devs are rather tied-up fixing bionic18.04 bugs, and (b) to do a good SRU would need much regression-testing and somebody to push it forwards.

To the best of my knowledge this will be supported in 1.43, and won't be backported to 1.42. IMHO this is very misleading. It's like a car salesperson sold you a sports car with an V8 engine. After you drove it home, you opened the hood and realized only 6 cylinders are working because 2 of the spark plugs were not included, and you have to buy aftermarket ones. <rant>BTW, I've been following the development of e2fsprogs for over a year. 1.43 release has been in limbo for God knows how long :( </rant> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/1365874/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
