Hi,

Adam Kandur <kefironpremise <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> Can I ask to add e2fsprogs to %base-packages? Because there is no

Commit 45eac6cdf5c8d9d7b0c564b105c790d2d2007799 removed e2fsprogs from
‘%base-packages’.  Instead, e2fsprogs is added to
/run/current-system/profile if and only if an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
is listed in the ‘file-systems’ field.

Could it be that your OS config doesn’t have any of these?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
