The same file also uses vgdisplay, but there's no package relationship
against lvm2 specified.....

both above are false positives, type2label + feature2label.

    $self->ssh('sudo e2fsck -f -p /dev/volumes/gbrowse')          or die "e2fsck failed";

    $self->ssh('sudo resize2fs -p /dev/volumes/gbrowse')          or die "Couldn't resize2fs";

Looks like the commands are executed on a remote host over ssh so a local
dependency isn't what we want here.

All three above are false positives, type2label + feature2label.

My conclusion is thus that this bug report can likely simply be
closed.

Would be great to get some input from maintainers on what's going
on in (the affected part of) gbrowse...
