Hi,
scripts/ver_linux uses fdformat to determine the version of util-linux
used on the system. However, on Debian GNU/Linux:
---------- snip ----------
% fdformat --version
Note: /usr/bin/fdformat is obsolete and is no longer available.
Please use /usr/bin/superformat instead (make sure you have the
fdutils package installed first). Also, there had been some
major changes from version 4.x. Please refer to the documentation.
---------- snip ----------
Attached is a patch which modifies ver_linux so that it can correctly
determine the util-linux version on Debian (by using /sbin/hwclock if
fdformat fails).
