Thanks! I forgot that we need to freeze blkid version number in e2fsprogs to avoid collisions between e2fsprogs and util-linux-ng. Currently the blkid version number is shared with e2fsprogs version number. The e2fsprogs blkid should be in maintenance mode only. All development should happen in util-linux-ng only. Right? This problem should be resolved before util-linux-ng-2.15 stable release (-rc2 now). (See the patch below -- it's example. I don't know if you want to add LIBBLKID_VERSION to the global version.h or something other to configure.in, or so...)
