I have Maemo Extras set up and it is being refreshed. I've run apt-get install e2fsprogs but I'm told it isn't available and is only referred to by other packages. The output says "However the following packages replace it: libuuid1". I really don't think it will do much for formatting an ext2 filesystem. At least, not on its own.

I read another thread mentioning the same issue with the n800 but the solutions mentioned didn't solve the problem. I'm not entirely familiar with Debian-derived distros so I don't know if I'm missing something that Red Hat and similar distros do. Anyone have a cluebit?
