Created attachment 27350 [details, diff]
e2fsprogs-1.35.ebuild

A new ebuild for e2fs-progs-1.35, which corrects this bug.
Changes :
 - Ebuild renamed
 - Removed reference to e2fsprogs-1.34-kernel-2.6-fix.patch which is merged in
1.35.
 - Removed reference to e2fsprogs-1.34-swap-symlink.patch, which is corrected
in 1.35 I think (but in a different way).

1.35 is now in portage, thanks for the ebuild
