[Filesystems-devel] Bug#1132368: sload.f2fs: compression (-c) not functional

[sitd2813]

Package: f2fs-tools
Version: 1.16.0-1.1+b1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

`f2fs-tools` ships `sload.f2fs` with compression flags (`-c`, `-a`, ...)
but compression is not functional because it was not compiled with
`liblz4-dev` and `liblzo2-dev` in Build-Depends.

Upstream `configure.ac` uses `AC_CHECK_LIB` with a silent fallback, that
if the libraries are absent at build time, compression support is quietly
dropped. The result is that `sload.f2fs --help` shows `-c`, but using it
fails with:

```console
$ sload.f2fs -c -a lz4 -f dir/ -t / image.f2fs
... omitted ...
Error: The selected compression algorithm is not supported
```

Adding `liblz4-dev` and `liblzo2-dev` to Build-Depends would fix this issue
and enable compression support in `sload.f2fs`.
