Hi David,

'col' indeed moved to bsdextrautils. But in the notmuch case, there's
nothing pulling bsdextrautils during the build, so it's not installed.

I suspect that when you dist-upgraded your chroot, you somehow ended up
with a non-minimal chroot that included bsdextrautils.

'm adding the maintainers of util-linux (bsdextrautils) and bsdmainutils
to Cc. Which path forward do you see for this issue? A similar issue
seems to affect many packages, such as:
