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.

  Another testplan to confirm "fsremap" is still working after the
  change.

  sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_disk bs=1K count=100000
  mkdir test_mnt
  sudo mkfs.ext4 test_disk
  sudo mount test_disk test_mnt -o loop

  # create a ramdom test file
  sudo dd if=/dev/random of=test_mnt/file1 bs=1K count=1

  sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=test_mnt/loop 
  sudo mkfs.ext4 test_mnt/loop 
  mkdir test_mnt_loop
  sudo mount test_mnt/loop  test_mnt_loop -o loop

  # create another random test file inside the loop file in the device 
  sudo dd if=/dev/random of=test_mnt_loop/file2 bs=1K count=1

  sudo fsmove test_mnt test_mnt_loop --exclude  test_mnt/loop 
  sudo umount test_mnt_loop
  sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=test_mnt/zero  bs=512
  sudo mount -o ro,remount test_mnt
  mkdir log
  sudo fsremap -vv  -t log  /dev/loop11 test_mnt/loop test_mnt/zero 
  cat  log/fstransform/fsremap.job.1/fsremap.log

  Use the last command to check the log and confirm "fsremap" has
  worked.

  Also, try the following:
  sudo mount test_disk test_mnt -o loop
  ls test_mnt

  It will now have both the random test files.

  
  [ 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.
