Hi,

When having a kernel without loop device support
$ losetup -f 
returns 0 and no warning on stderr

With older util-linux I get error and nice message on stderr
$ losetup -f
losetup: Could not find any loop device. Maybe this kernel does not know
about the loop device? (If so, recompile or `modprobe loop'.)

I guess this is broken since c7e0925d.

Woule be nice to have this again.

cu,
Rudi
