Is e2fsprogs-lib a separate package? Or just another distro's method of
splitting their e2fsprogs package?

Can you share the work-in-progress patch that causes the problem for

To set up and run the test suite we need to first link some libraries
from /tools/lib to a location where the test programs look. To run the
tests, issue:

$ ln -sfv /tools/lib/lib{blk,uu}id.so.1 lib
$ make LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tools/lib check
