Re: Btrfs progs release 5.18

[John Center <jlcenter15@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I usually build the btrfs-progs when it comes out.  I've upgraded from 
Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 & I'm having a problem with configure looking for 
ext2fs.  I have e2fsprogs & libext2fs2 installed, but it fails with "No 
package 'ext2fs' found".  What am I missing?

Thanks!
