When emerging qtparted, list of dependencies includes progreiserfs. This overwrites the most recent reiserfsprogs, in particular fsck.reiserfs is "downgraded" to a VERY old version, that does not support '-a' flag. If you happen to have your root partition as ReiserFS, at next reboot your system will fail to verify the root partition itself because fsck.reiserfs does not recognise the given '-a' flag, and exits with an error. Such error is interpreted by the init script as an error on the root filesystem, and so it leaves you a bash with a read-only system. I booted from livecd, mounted my root , chrooted a bash and emerged reiserfsprogs again, and everything went fine at next reboot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge qtparted 2. reboot 3. Actual Results: unable to initialize the system due to fsck.reiserfs "errors" Expected Results: install qtparted without replacing reiser utils
Check bug #37892
I think this bug can now set to fixed with qtparted-0.4.1?
sounds good - setting as fixed.
Does this bug need re-opening? qtparted (and for that matter, parted) are both using progsreiser again! :/
According to the website, it needs progsreiserfs and NOT reiserfsprogs. Am I missing something?
