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 inconsistencies in the interior
    nodes of an inode's extent tree
  * Fixed a potential memory corruption failure in e2fsck's error path if
    the call to ext2fs_open2() fails.
  * Fixed e2fsck if its logging function is enabled in e2fsck.conf, and
    the resulting file name for the log file is longer than 100 bytes,
    that it properly handles this situation instead of crashing.
  * E2fsck will now report the amount of memory that it attempted to
    allocate when a memory allocation request fails, to make it easier to
    track down the problem.
  * Fixed a bug in resize2fs which could cause severe file system
    corruption when growing an ext4 file system which was formatted with
    fewer-than-normal reserved gdt blocks
  * Fixed resize2fs to be able to handle off-line resizes of file
    systems with the flex_bg feature and without any reserved gdt
    blocks or if the file system did not have the resize_inode feature
  * Further optimize resize2fs so it doesn't use quite as much CPU when
    resizing very large file systems.
  * Fixed 32-bit overflow bugs which could cause resize2fs to fail and
    possibly corrupt the file system while resizing 64-bit file systems.
  * Fixed a big which could cause resize2fs to corrupt bigalloc file systems.
  * Fix a crash while mke2fs is parsing "-E resize=NNN" with the 64bit
    file system feature enabled
  * Added better error checking to mke2fs to check for invalid
    parameters when creating bigalloc file system.
  * When creating bigalloc filesystems, the -g option to mke2fs will now
    specify the number of clusters per block group.
  * Added the "symlink", "zap_block", "block_dump", and "extent_open"
    commands to debugfs
  * Fixed debugfs's htree command so that all its messages are sent
    through the pager.
  * Fixed debugfs's dump_file and cat functions so they work correctly
    on file systems with a block size greater than 8k.
  * Fixed mke2fs's handling of the mmp_update_interval option
  * Fixed e2freefrag so it works on 64-bit file systems, and so it uses
    much less memory.
  * E2image can now include all data blocks in the e2image output
    file when the user specifies the -a option.
  * Fixed debugfs's mknod command so that it updates the block group
    statistics
  * Document the bigalloc feature in the mke2fs man page.
    (Closes: #669730)
  * Update Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Sweedish, and
    Vietnamese translations

e2fsprogs (1.42.6-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream version
  * Fix build dependencies to avoid requiring dc, and to allow
    cross-building to work (Closes: #677497)
  * Updated/fixed various man pages
  * Mke2fs will now update its progress indicators at most once a second
    to avoid overwhelming serial consoles.
  * Resize2fs will support lazy_itable_init, speeding up off-line growth
    of uninit_bg file systems.
  * Resize2fs now supports on-line resizing 64-bit file systems beyond
    16TB.  A number of bugs in resize2fs which prevented this have been
    fixed.
  * Resize2fs now correctly handles resizing 32-bit file systems to 16TB.
  * Fixed a potential segfault in e2fsck when there is an I/O error
    while reading the superblock.
