When reordering here, be careful not to adjust systemd (udev/systemd). It's all a few years of fuzzy, but the interaction of those three packages was a bit of a nightmare when merging the two books. IIRC, that was what prompted the extra partial build of util-linux in chapter 5 for systemd, so we could keep the build order roughly the same across the two books (difference in systemd deemed acceptable because systemd gets reinstalled early in BLFS - and I'm pretty sure this will still show up if you run ICA on systemd). I want to say something to do with a disk geometry library that got moved from e2fsprogs to util-linux (or maybe vice versa), but it is all so long ago, I'm unsure. Anyway, if running a comparison build, it'll reveal itself, so it's really cool that this is working again! --DJ -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
