Bug Description
[ Impact ]
fsattr will crash immediately on execution with the error:
$ fsattr
ERROR: fsattr: this program is a NOT functional because it was compiled without -lext2fs -lcom_err
[ Test Plan ]
test with a loop device:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_disk bs=1K count=1000
sudo losetup -f test_disk
check which loop device has been used:
sudo losetup -l
In my test it was /dev/loop11
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/loop11
sudo fsattr --files=prealloc --fstype=ext4 /dev/loop11
If the package is not fixed it will result in the above error.
With the fixed package it will not fail.
[ Where problems could occur ]
There is no change in the code, it only changes a build dependency which will make fsattr functional.
[ Other Info ]
Since "fsattr" has never worked before, so there can be problems and new bugs reported for it.
