Source: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.45.0-1
Severity: important

Hi,
As of the above version, e2fsprogs Build-Depends on udev and systemd
(and cron too which, whilst somewhat perplexing, is not the issue here),
thereby rendering its build dependencies unsatisfiable on non-Linux
architectures, namely GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd (the latter being
particularly important given it uses ext2fs as its filesystem). I went
digging to see why this was but the commit[1] that added it isn't any
more enlightening. I haven't tried building it without those packages, but can
only assume the upstream code still works without udev and systemd. Can we
please have this fixed in Debian so e2fsprogs builds everywhere again?

Regards,
James
