e2fsprogs 1.42.4 uploaded

["Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>]

Hi all,

Since the freeze is supposed to be coming "any day now", I thought I
would mention that I've just uploaded e2fsprogs 1.42.4-1 to unstable.
This has a number of bug fixes that I would really like to get into the
stable release, including a couple of bugs that could cause e2fsck to
corrupt large file systems with 64-bit block numbers.  (See below for
the complete list of fixes.)

Since the e2fsprogs package tends to be one of the first to freeze,
since it generates udebs used by the installer, I thought I would make a
special mention that it would really be good if we could get 1.42.4 in
before the freeze.

Thanks, regards,

						- Ted

  * New upstream version
  * Fix bugs on 32-bit systems which could corrupt > 16TB file systems

    incorrect in the superblock after an system crash, since we don't

    particular, don't rewrite the quota inode unless the quotas are
    inconsistent
