[Bug 1295274] [NEW] Error message is written to stdout

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with e2fsprogs 1.42.9-3ubuntu1 and I have
encountered an error message which is written to stdout. Here is the
output:

root at ubuntu:~# e4defrag -c /var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell-dicts-list.txt
 This file(/var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell-dicts-list.txt) can't be defragmented.
 Done.
root at ubuntu:~# echo $?
1


If I'm forwarding now stdout I will get this:

root at ubuntu:~# e4defrag -c /var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell-dicts-list.txt > /dev/null
root at ubuntu:~# echo $?
1


I think the message should be written to stderr instead of stdout.
