** Description changed:
== Impact ==
* fixes multiple file system corruption bugs
* fixes potential data loss
* reduces LTS maintenance, due to synchronisation with Wheezy (1.42.4-3) and quantal (1.42.4-3ubuntu1)
* This is not a MicroReleaseUpload, as impact is in line with current SRU policies
== other (questionable) changes ==
* translations updates
* API/ABI compatible - symbols file updated to released version numbers (TODO check)
* hardening build flags enabled for -static package
* for other changes see debian/changelog below and the Release Notes
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/e2fsprogs-release.html

- problems that were found and fixed directly.
- * E2fsck can now limit the number of messages issued and printed on

- OOPS if they comes across one
- * Fix e2fsck's discard behaviour so it does not discard too many
- blocks, and it will not use discard if the device advertises
- that discard does not persistently zero data. Also, if e2fsck is
- run in read-only mode, do not try to discard data.

- newer kernels.
- .
- e2fsprogs (1.42.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
- .
- * New upstream release
- * dpkg-buildflags is now used if it is present. This allows Debian
- Wheezy to build with security hardened build flags. (Closes: #654457)
- * mke2fs and e2fsck now use much less memory for large file systems
- * Fixed mke2fs -S so it can be usefully used as a last ditch recovery
- command when for ext4 filesystems that have the uninit_bg feature enabled.
- * The mke4fs argv[0] is now recognized by mke2fs.
- * Fixed usage and help messages for mke2fs.
- * Eliminated spurious bad block group checksum warnings when e2fsck
- falls back to using the backup group descriptors.
- * Debugfs's ncheck command is now much more useful when used to
- diagnose badly corrupted file system. Added a new -c option.
- * Fixed bug in e2image which could cause it to fail to set i_size
- correctly if the last hole in the file is an exact multiple of a
- megabyte.
- * Fixed a bug with resize2fs where for 1k and 2k file systems, the
- minimum file size used for resize2fs -M could be a block too small.
- * Fixed the badblocks program to honor the -s flag when in read-only -t
- mode. (Closes: #646629)
- * Update Czech, Dutch, French, Polish, and Swedish translations
- .
