Source: e2fsprogs Section: base Priority: required Maintainer: Theodore Y. Ts'o Build-Depends: texi2html, texinfo, debhelper (>= 4) Standards-Version: 3.5.6 Package: e2fsck-static Section: admin Priority: optional Depends: e2fsprogs (= ${Source-Version}) Recommends: sash | zsh-static | busybox-static | zsh30-static Architecture: any Description: A statically-linked version of the ext2 filesystem checker This may be of some help to you if your filesystem gets corrupted enough to break the shared libraries used by the dynamically linked checker. . This binary takes much more space than its dynamic counterpart located in e2fsprogs, though. . You may want to install a statically-linked shell as well, to be able to run this program if something like your C library gets corrupted. Package: comerr-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, libcomerr2 Suggests: doc-base Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6) Architecture: any Description: The Common Error Description library - headers and static libraries libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use. Package: ss-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, libss2 Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6) Architecture: any Description: Command-line interface parsing library - headers and static libraries This package includes a tool that parses a command table to generate a simple command-line interface parser, the include files needed to compile and use it, and the static libs. . It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library. Package: uuid-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Depends: ${libcdev:Depends}, e2fsprogs (= ${Source-Version}) Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6) Replaces: e2fslibs-dev (<< 1.15) Architecture: any Description: Universally unique id library - headers and static libraries libuuid generates and parses 128-bit universally unique id's (UUID's), using a standard which is blessed by both Microsoft and DCE, and is being proposed as an internet standard. See the internet-draft: . draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt . for more information. Package: libblkid1 Section: libs Priority: required Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Architecture: any Description: Block device id library The blkid library which allows system programs like fsck and mount to quickly and easily find block devices by filesystem UUID and LABEL. This allows system administrators to avoid specifiying filesystems by hard-coded device names, but via a logical naming system instead. Package: libblkid1-udeb Section: debian-installer Priority: required Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Provides: libblkid1 Architecture: any Description: Block device id library The blkid library which allows system programs like fsck and mount to quickly and easily find block devices by filesystem UUID and LABEL. This allows system administrators to avoid specifiying filesystems by hard-coded device names, but via a logical naming system instead. . This is a minimal package for debian-installer. Package: libblkid-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Depends: libblkid1 (= ${Source-Version}) Architecture: any Description: Block device id library - headers and static libraries The blkid library which allows system programs like fsck and mount to quickly and easily find block devices by filesystem UUID and LABEL. This allows system administrators to avoid specifiying filesystems by hard-coded device names, but via a logical naming system instead. . This package contains the development environment for the blkid library. Package: e2fsprogs-bf Section: devel Priority: extra Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Conflicts: e2fsprogs Architecture: any Description: A stripped-down versions of e2fsprogs, for boot-floppies This package is an e2fsprogs package built for a reduced size, so that it can help to save space on installation boot-floppies. . Don't attempt to install this package, it has no support for a couple of features you surely want. Anyway it should refuse to install.

Package: e2fsprogs Essential: yes Pre-Depends: ${shlibs:Depends} Depends: Suggests: gpart, parted, e2fsck-static Conflicts: e2fslibsg, dump (<< 0.4b4-4), quota (<< 1.55-8.1) Provides: libcomerr2, libss2, libext2fs2, libe2p2, libuuid1 Architecture: any Description: The EXT2 file system utilities and libraries EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the main filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. . This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2 filesystems, and the generic `fsck' wrapper. Package: e2fslibs-dev Section: libdevel Priority: extra Depends: comerr-dev, e2fsprogs (= ${Source-Version}) Suggests: doc-base Provides: ext2fs-dev, e2p-dev Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6) Replaces: libkrb5-dev (<< 1.3) Architecture: any Description: The headers and static libraries for ext2fs-aware tools-development EXT2FS stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems. . This package contains the headers and shared libraries needed to compile ext2fs-aware programs. Only programmers that really manipulate features specific to the ext2 filesystem will need this. Most programmers will use the generic filesystem-independent interface from libc. . It also contains dev files for the e2p lib used by the e2fsprogs, but which is not yet packaged all by itself because it lacks documentation. It may also lack some support files, by I can't really know until someone uses it... . libe2p is for user-level e2fsprogs commands. It's used by dumpe2fs, chattr, and lsattr. Functions in libe2p typically have two characteristics (a) don't require that block device containing the filesystem be opened directly (functions in libext2fs do), and (b) libe2p typically contains printf statements or parse user input, and so have more internationalization issues.
