Re: [Ltib] Cannot build e2fsprogs using ./ltib --force

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi James,

I got a copy of LTIB from that release date and I've not been able to
reproduce the problem.  That's probably because I don't have the same
distro to test on, for Ubuntu's I've only got 8.04.

I did a bit of googling and this looks relevant:
http://www.linuxarkivet.se/mlists/ext3-users/0404/msg00006.html

When you say it works the first time but after a re-build, did you mean
that it worked when you first installed (e.g. using the pre-built rpms
from the ISO image)?

Can you try patching the spec file with this:

--- dist/lfs-5.1/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs.spec.orig  2008-06-06 12:02:11.000000000 
+0100
+++ dist/lfs-5.1/e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs.spec       2008-06-06 14:02:09.000000000

 %Install

It turns of nls which I think should fix your problem.
