It looks like the problem is a name mismatch.  The symbol that
/sbin/dump wants to find is "ext2_llseek" but the symbol in
/lib/libext2fs.so.2.3 is "ext2fs_llseek".

I tried to recompile /sbin/dump from the source package but was
unsuccessful.  It appears that one of the main include files,
/usr/include/ctype.h, is broken.  I'll have to fix that first.
