Ubuntu and Debian does use blkid from util-linux. I'm guessing Autif compiled e2fsprogs by hand. For the record, what I recommend for people who are using debian or Ubuntu systems (of whatever vintage) is: tar xvfz e2fsprogs-1.42.7.tar.gz cd e2fsprogs-1.42.7 ./debian/rules fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage This will build .deb packages that are suitable for whatever version of Debian or Ubuntu (including really ancient ones before blkid was moved to util-linux) you happen to be using. > That's really where it's maintained these days, a little surprised that > blkid's still in use from e2fsprogs, though I don't know my ubuntu > releases.
