 fsck.ext3: symbol lookup error: fsck.ext3: undefined symbol: ext2fs_dblist_get_last

  * http://bugs.debian.org/475167

Hi,

It's me again, I just upgraded those packages, and It works as expected 

  unstable/main e2fslibs 1.40.11-1
  unstable/main e2fsprogs 1.40.11-1

BTW, the function is present now :

  nm -D /lib/libext2fs.so.2 | grep ext2fs_dblist_get_last
  0000d770 T ext2fs_dblist_get_last

I am curious why this issue did not affect more users ?

Thank you for fixing this, I am ok to close this bug
