Hi,

now that mkfs supports tarballs via dlopen() of libarchive13 (thank
you!), could the e2fsprogs Recommends or Suggests libarchive13?

It should probably not be a Depends for bootstrapping reasons. The
libarchive support is optional after all.

Thanks!

cheers, josch

     Swedish, and Ukrainian translations.
   * Teach dumpe2fs and e2mmpstatus to support LABEL= and UUID= specifiers
