Bug Description

Binary package hint: convertfs

The documentation (http://tzukanov.narod.ru/convertfs/), says the program depends on linux "2.4, glibc 2.2, recent util-linux, fileutils". I think the first two are taken care of, but it should depend at least on util-linux and fileutils. I didn't have fileutils, and had to install it manually.

Modifies control file to Depend on util-linux and fileutils Edit (519 bytes, text/plain)

The attached patch adds util-linux and fileutils to the Depends: field of the control file. I had some difficulty verifying this (dpkg -i installed the package I generated despite my lacking fileutils), but it looks right...

Actually, this is not needed. Firstly, the package coreutils provides fileutils, and also both coreutils and util-linux are Essential: yes, which means they do not need to be declared in a packages Depends field.
