This bug was fixed in the package e2fsprogs - 1.41.14-1ubuntu1

---------------
e2fsprogs (1.41.14-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian experimental (LP: #681418), remaining changes:
    - debian/control: Do not build-depend on dietlibc-dev, which is universe.
    - debian/rules:
      + Do now allow pkg-create-dbgsym to operate on this package.
      + Build with -O2 on powerpc to avoid a suspected toolchain bug.
    - debian/e2fsprogs.preinst: Do not include /etc/e2fsck.conf and remove on
      upgrade.

e2fsprogs (1.41.14-1) experimental; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Fixed a FTBFS on big-endian architectures
  * Fixed spurious warning in mke2fs
  * resize2fs now works correctly on devices exactly 16TB
  * resize2fs will no longer clear the resize_inode feature when the
    number of reserved GDT blocks reaches 0.  This allows a file
    system with the flex_bg feature to be subsequently shrunk.
  * e2fsck will no longer use the extended rec_len encoding for file
    systems whose blocksize is less than 64k, to catch fs inconsistencies
    which the kernel will complain about.

e2fsprogs (1.41.13-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * E2fsck can now do journal-only replays via "e2fsck -E journal_only"
  * E2fsck now understands UUID= and LABEL= specifiers for the -j option
    (Closes: #559315)
  * E2fsck.conf now supports a new config option, which forces the
    problem not to be fixed: problems/<problem code/force_no
  * Dumpe2fs now prints friendlier offsets for flex_bg file systems
  * Mke2fs will now fail if the user uses an file system type not
    defined in mke2fs.conf (Closes: #594609)
  * Resize now prints a clarified error message explaining that on-line
    shrinking is not supported at all.  (Closes: #599786)
  * Fixed a build error caused by bad static and profiled dependencies
    for the blkid library (Closes: #604629)
  * Fixed an e2fsck PROGRAMMING BUG error (Closes: #555456)
  * Fixed outdated mention of fsck in the e2fsprogs package (Closes: #588726)
  * Removed obsolete initrd script (Closes: #585041)
  * Fixed bad dependency on libblkid1 due to shlibs.local (Closes: #583551)
  * E2fsck now opens the external journal in exclusive mode to prevent
    clearing the journal of a mounted, snapshotted volume if the user
    accidentally tries to run e2fsck on the snapshot volume (Closes: #587531)
  * Fix a big in e2fsck so it correct test for whether the EOFBLOCKS_FL
    flag should be set or not.
  * Tune2fs can now set uninit_bg without requiring an fsck afterwards
  * Add support for the new ext4 default mount options added in 2.6.35
  * Add support for the ext4 error tracking superblock fields added in 2.6.36
  * Debugfs now uses a more concise format for listing extents in its
    stat command
  * Debugfs can now use direct I/O to access the file system with the -D option
  * Mke2fs will skip initializing the inode table if a device supports
    discard and the discard operation results in zero'ed blocks
  * Mke2fs's handling of logical and physical sector sizes has been
    significantly improved.
  * Debugfs will correctly show the progress bar even when UTF-8
    characters are used in its translation files (Closes: #583782, #587834)
  * E2freefrag will now display the total number of free extents.
  * Resize2fs -P now longer requires a freshly checked file system
  * Fixed a floating point precision error that can cause segfaults in
    e2fsck and resize2fs in extremely rare cases
  * Fixed a bug in e2fsck which caused it to fail if both the original
    and backup superblocks were invalid in some way
  * Fixed a bug in e2freefrag which caused getopt parsing to fail on
    architectures with unsigned chars
  * Clarified mke2fs and e2fsck error messages when given incorrect
    options/values by the user
  * Updated/clarified man pages (Closes: #580236, #594004, #589345, #591083)

e2fsprogs (1.41.12-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Allow tune2fs to set uninit_bg without requiring an fsck
  * Fix test in e2fsck to correctly check for EOFBLOCKS files
  * Fix dependencies for libuuid and libblkid (Closes: #583551)
