Architecture: any
Description: The EXT2 file system utilities.
 EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the main
 filesystem type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems.
 .
 This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining EXT2
 filesystems, and the generic `fsck' wrapper.
 .
 This release may break older versions of dump and quota.

Package: comerr2g
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), comerr2
Architecture: any
Description: The Common Error Description library - shared libraries.
 libcomerr is an attempt to present a common error-handling mechanism to
 manipulate the most common form of error code in a fashion that does not
 have the problems identified with mechanisms commonly in use.
 .
 It is mainly used by the EXT2-filesystem tools.

Package: ss2g
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}
Conflicts: e2fsprogs (<< 1.10-6), ss2
Architecture: any
Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - shared libs
 This package contains the shared libs to support command-line
 interface parsers generated with the ssg-dev package.
 . 
 It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library.

Description: The EXT2 file system shared libs.
 EXT2 stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem type
 used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems.
 .
 This package contains shared libraries needed by the utility programs.

Description: "Sub-System" library for simple command-line interface parsing - devel. files
 This package includes a tool that parses a command table to generate
 a simple command-line interface parser, the include files needed to
 compile and use it, and the static libs.
 . 
 It was originally inspired by the Multics SubSystem library.

Description: The headers and static libraries for ext2fs-aware tools-development.
 EXT2FS stands for "Extended Filesystem", version 2. It's the filesystem
 type used for hard disks on Debian and other Linux systems.
 .
 This package contains the headers and shared libraries needed to compile
 ext2fs-aware programs. Only programmers that really manipulate
 features specific to the ext2 filesystem will need this. Most
 programmers will use the generic filesystem-independent interface
 from libc.
 .
 It also contains dev files for 2 other libs (e2p and uuid) used by
 the e2fsprogs, but which are not yet packaged all by themselves
 because they lack documentation. They may also lack some support
 files, by I can't really know until someone uses them...
 .
 libe2p is for user-level e2fsprogs commands.  It's used by dumpe2fs,
 chattr, and lsattr.  Functions in libe2p typically have two
 characteristics (a) don't require that block device containing the
 filesystem be opened directly (functions in libext2fs do), and (b)
 libe2p typically contains printf statements or parse user input, and so
 have more internationalization issues.
 .
 libuuid generates and parses 128-bit universally unique id's (UUID's),
 using a standard which is blessed by both Microsoft and DCE, and is
 being proposed as an internet standard.  See the internet-draft:
