This bug was fixed in the package e2fsprogs - 1.42.8-1ubuntu1

---------------
e2fsprogs (1.42.8-1ubuntu1) saucy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable, remainging changes (LP: #1193216) :
        Update maintainer field.
    - debian/rules:
        Block pkg-create-dbgsym from operating on this package.
        Build without dietlibc-dev, which is in universe
        Apply multiarch fixes to the blkid version check. Fixes cross-FTBFS.
    - debian/control:
        Regenerate with ./debian/rules debian/control

  * Dropped changes, already in upstream/debian:
    - debian/control.in:
        Drop build dependency on dc, which hasn't been needed for some time.
    - debian/patches/fix-ftbfs-undefined-symbols.patch:
        Add a patch from Sourceforge Issue 3554345, to fix linking order.
    - debian/patches/sp_filesystme.patch:
        Spelling fix 'filesystme' for debugfs help.

e2fsprogs (1.42.8-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * Work around Debian Bug #712530 (Closes: #708307)
  * Fix e2fsck so it can check a read-only root file system with an
    external journal. (Closes: #707030)
  * Fix off-line resizing of file systems with flex_bg && !resize_inode
    (Closes: #696746)
  * Change mke2fs so that it does not set the root directory to the real
    uid/gid of the mke2fs process. Add the extended option root_owner to
    override this behavior.
  * If an invalid journal size is given to mke2fs, it will now complain
    and exit sooner.
  * Fix resize2fs when shrinking file systems to make sure that bitmap
    blocks aren't left outside the bounds of the shrunken file system.
    This could happen with flex_bg file systems that were grown using
    the old online resizing algorithm.
  * E2fsck will now detect and repair corrupted extent trees which contain
    invalid extents at the end of the extent tree leaf block.
  * E2fsck will now longer complain about zero length extended attribute values.
  * Fix a regression introduced in e2fsprogs v1.42 which caused e2image -s
    to crash.
  * Add safety check so tune2fs will not attempt to set the inode size to
    be larger than the block size.
  * Enhance chattr to allow clearing the extent flag if the kernel allows it
  * Fix e2image with large (> 32-bit) file systems (Closes: #703067)
  * Mke2fs will not give warnings about the bigalloc and quota options in
    quiet mode.
  * Debugfs was erroneously giving spurious error messages for certain
    extent_inode subcommands which take arguments (split_node,
    replace_node, and insert_node). This has been fixed.
  * Fix the parsing of the 's' (sectors) in parse_num_blocks2, which among
    other programs is used by mke2fs.
  * Fix texinfo incompatibilities (Closes: #712365)
  * Updated/fixed various man pages (Closes: #712429, #712430, #707609)
  * Update German translation

e2fsprogs (1.42.7-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * Add warning indicating that the quota and bigalloc features are
    still under development.
  * Added new options to filefrag to be consistent with the version from
    Lustre
  * Optimized e2fsck's CPU utilization
  * Fixed e2fsck so it detects and fixes inconsistencie...
