[parted-devel] [PATCH] build: suggest libuuid from util-linux-ng package

[Petr Uzel]

* configure.ac: libuuid was moved from e2fsprogs to
util-linux-ng-2.16. Because distributions now often
build e2fsprogs without libuuid support, suggest installing
libuuid from util-linux-ng if it is missing, not from e2fsprogs.

 This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
-         http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
-Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will also need the development
-package as well (which may be called e2fsprogs-devel or something similar).
-If you compile e2fsprogs yourself then you need to do 'make install' and
-'make install-libs'.])]
