11 When I try to install it, I get the same problem. I guess somethings in
12 one of the header files it delivers has been changed in the recent
13 update of ext2fsprogs-libs from 1.41.14 to 1.42_pre0702. That was two
14 days ago, so might this be the reason for dump failing in the first place?

16 You could try to downgrade ext2fsprogs-libs, but don't unmerge it first,
17 I think this will break all sorts of things.

19 Someone should report a bug... if noone volunteers, I'll do this myself
20 some time tomorrow.
