Package: udisks2
Version: 2.7.5-1
User: [email protected]
Usertags: nonessentiale2fsprogs
Dear maintainer,
We want to make removing e2fsprogs from installations possible. For standard
installations this is not useful, but embedded applications and chroots benefit
from such an option. For getting there all packages that use e2fsprogs must be
identified and gain a dependency on it as e2fsprogs currently is essential.
udisks2 was identified as potentially needing such a dependency,
because it mentions tool names from e2fsprogs in the following files:
/usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd contains e2label, mkfs.ext2, mkfs.ext3 and mkfs.ext4.
According to file it is a ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV)
Please investigate whether these cases are actually uses of a tool from
e2fsprogs. Care has been taken to shrink the number of candidates as much as
possible, but a few false positives will remain. After doing so, do one of the
following:
* Add e2fsprogs to Depends.
* Add e2fsprogs to Recommends.
* Close this bug explaining why e2fsprogs is not used by this package.
Once e2fsprogs drops the "Essential: yes" flag, this bug will be upgraded to RC
severity. Please note that lintian will warn about such a dependency before
lintian 2.5.56.
Thanks for your help
Helmut

I anticipated this and already added e2fsprogs to Recommends in
2.7.2-1, so this is already fixed thus closing.
(We might want to promote it to depends, but I think that's
a separate discussion. Also since e2fsprogs will be available
in all normal installations even in the future I don't see
how a the Recommends can really become a major issue for users
because most/all will already have it installed even if they
choose to install udisks2 without installing recommends.)
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
