fs-core-modules should provide ext2-modules

[dann frazier]

The fs-core-modules udeb includes the ext2 kernel module, but does not provide the ext2-modules virtual packages. This prevents packages that depend on ext2-modules, such as partman-basicfilesystems, from installing.

[Ike Panhc (ikepanhc)]

I think we have move ext2 modules from ext2-modules.udeb to fs-core-modules.udeb on Feisty release

In my point of view, we shall fix partman-basicfilesystems.

Check trusty main, only rescue-mode and partman-basicfilesystems in debian-installer depends on ext2-module, I will file bug against these two packages

In trusty,

Package: fs-core-modules-3.12.0-5-generic-di
Priority: standard
Section: debian-installer
Installed-Size: 2232
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <email address hidden>
Architecture: amd64
Source: linux
Version: 3.12.0-5.13
Provides: ext2-modules, fs-core-modules, jfs-modules, reiserfs-modules, xfs-modules

which shall satisfy the dependence for rescue-mode and partman-basicfilesystems

ok, I see the problem. In linux-exynos5 the fs-core-modules does not provide ext2-modules
