Bug Description

A dual-boot (WinXP) machine running Ubuntu 9.10 has the following /etc/fstab entry:
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:1f.1-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1 /Windows/C ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 2

When mountall(8) tries to invoke fsck.ntfs-3g, there's an error message stating that fsck.ntfs-3g is not found. I can't recall the exact wording as I don't have boot logging enabled and there's no relevant entry in dmesg(1).

It does still mount the partition.

This worked fine in 9.04

I have the following packages installed:
libntfs-3g54
libntfs10
ntfs-3g
ntfs-config
ntfsdoc
ntfsprogs

All packages are current as of 6 Nov, 2009.

I have enabled all (semi)stable repositories (main,universe,multiverse,backports) and can't find anything that provides fsck.ntfs or fsck.ntfs-3g.

Why was this removed? Is there a replacement?
