Hi Goto-san,
long time no see. It seems that the problem is indeed fixed if you get
the sarge (or later) versions of e2fsprogs and glibc. However, some
people don't have that, and its causing some breakage for those people.
Would it be possible for you to add the conflicts that Ted suggested to
the next glibc release. This would seem like a nice way to make the
problem go away for everyone.
