Title:
  please update util-linux

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  Natty still uses version 2.17.2.  Besides lots of bug fixes (like
  cfdisk's ability to recognize Ubuntu's default MiB partitioning
  alignment [1]), version 2.19 introduced fstrim command to discard
  unused blocks on mounted filesystems, useful for SSD drives [2].

  Such an old version like 2.17.2 complicates reporting bugs upstream
  [3].
