Please sync e2fsprogs (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
Our delta was a workaround for bug #131201. Upstream now provides a different workaround and the Debian package makes sure that the workaround gets enabled in Ubuntu.

Changelog since current hardy version 1.40.2-1ubuntu1:

e2fsprogs (1.40.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * libss: Fix parallel build failure
  * e2fsprogs: fix blkid whole-disk scanning heuristics
  * libext2fs: Fix a corner case bug in ext2fs_unlink
  * fix check_mntent_file() to pass mode for open(O_CREAT)
  * Fix errors in test_ss.c so it can be an example application and test case
  * e2image in raw-mode appends an extra byte to image-file
  * Fix typo in the summary section of the blkid man page
  * mke2fs: Change usage message to use -E instead -R, which is deprecated

  * e2fsck: Don't mark the filesystem invalid because of time errors
  * Work around lame Ubuntu init scripts / installer bugs
  * fsck: Ignore /etc/fstab entries for bind mounts
  * e2fsck: If the superblock is corrupt, automatically retry with the backup sb
  * Don't crash if s_inode_size is zero
  * Use sscanf instead of atoi when parsing e2fsck options
  * Add Catalan translation and update Spanish, French, and Dutch
      translations from the Translation Project. (Closes: #411562)

  * Make sure $prefix/etc is created before installing mke2fs.conf
  * e2fsck: Allow i_size to be rounded up to the size of a VM page
  * Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
       allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
  * Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full()

So if you haven't rolled out 1.40.3 to all of your Hardy testers, you might want to hold off for a few days and wait for 1.40.4....

We've already synced it, but thanks for the heads up on this! I'll make
sure to get it synced when it lands in Debian.

Hi there,

I know it's somewhat late, but there are a quite a few bug fixes in
the maintenance branch of e2fsprogs. The most recent version is
1.40.7.

I've opened a request to sync to bug in Launchpad, here:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/e2fsprogs/+bug/197167

But I thought I'd send you an e-mail to make sure it was noticed.

Thanks!!

      - Ted

Ah, thanks very much for the nudge. When this bug was closed, the issue
completely fell of my rader.
