$ gaze version hal udev e2fsprogs util-linux
Grimoire Section Spell Grimoire Version Installed Version
-------- ------- ----- ---------------- -----------------
test utils hal 0.5.12 0.5.12
test disk udev 142 142
test disk e2fsprogs 1.41.6 1.41.6
test utils util-linux 2.15 2.15

$ gaze from libblkid.so
util-linux-2.15:/lib/libblkid.so

The upgrade path is broken for e2fsprogs and util-linux. Have you tried
recasting both to see if that fixes udev/hal?

Here is the revert of my (broken) attempt to fix this:

Revert "e2fsprogs: Depends on util-linux for blkid"

This reverts commit c3ff13022ef5564b2c6dbc28226532ec7ee39a34.

I'm not sure what's going on, but putting the dependency order
correct
breaks.

e2fsprogs 1.41.4 used to provide blkid.
util-linux 2.15 now provides blkid.
e2fsprogs 1.41.5 requires blkid from util-linux 2.15

e2fsprogs 1.41.5 no longer provides blkid and needs it from
util-linux.
util-linux 2.15 cannot compile without e2fsprogs.

Currently:
update e2fsprogs from 1.41.4 -> 1.41.5, removing libblkid.so.
mount (from util-linux) now fails as it cannot find
libblkid.so.1.
update util-linux to 2.15, now providing libblkid.so.
mount is happy.
e2fsprogs is built with its old libblkid.so and seems to still be
happy.
with util-linux's libblkid.so as they are ABI compatible (just moved
packages, AFAIK).

After this fun switch:
e2fsprogs will need to be cast after util-linux, since future
updates to
libblkid.so will come from util-linux and are required by e2fsprogs.

Possible resolution:
Leave in current state (as above) and only fix the dependencies
after
this switch has been in a few stable releases.
