By "drop out" you mean, "only got this far, then stopped", or "failed after reporting all the results ?" The latter sounds like normal behaviour for non-ignored errors. As it happens, I do still have my grep from 32-bit for LFS-7.2, but it only reports two instances of ignored errors. I will also point out that 7.2 was something like 2 years ago and few people here are likely to remember any details. On "one unexpected failure" I agree with Bruce : Carry on.

(TIA, as always.) If you are following the book (and the references to /usr/local in what you pasted make me doubt that), people _might_ be able to help on the e2fsprogs issue. But only if you explain the problem. Saying it "died in a mysterious way" is not a useful error report. Also, you said earlier that you were using your own package manager, or perhaps just your own scripts. The great thing about writing our own scripts is that when they break, we get to keep all the pieces. I'm sure Bruce still remembers that I had a problem in my own scripts when we moved to a newer bison version (3.0, I guess), and it took me _ages_ to work around it (by using a km_ namespace for my functions, and KM_ namespace for my variables. I never did discover exactly _which_ function or variable caused the problem. For me, that was a tedious and painful learning-experience, I hope you are able to resolve your problem more swiftly. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
