I had a conversation with the util-linux devs and they said there were some advantages to building after udev but the capabilities were silently left out if not. But udev needs BLKID in util-linux. That's why I added util-linux to Ch 5. So what we have is util-linux in Ch 5 eudev in Ch 6 util-linux in Ch 6 That reminds me. I still need to update C.
