[Bug 1318519] [NEW] fsck on a ntfs device gives error msg: fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found

[malheum]

Public bug reported:


Hello,

I am trying to fsck an image of a ntfs partition using fsck on the
command line.

My understanding is that fsck should call fsck.ntfs, but there is no
fsck.ntfs on my system, just ntfsck from the ntfs-3g package:

$ dpkg -S $( which ntfsck )
ntfs-3g: /bin/ntfsck

The error msg that I am getting is this one:

$ fsck -t ntfs /media/user/MELONE/work_copy_dev_sda2.image
fsck von util-linux 2.20.1
fsck: fsck.ntfs: not found
fsck: error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs for/media/user/MELONE/work_copy_dev_sda2.image

There is no installation candidate for ntfsprogs, apt-cache search
ntfsprogs returns no results.

This is a xubuntu 14.04 64 bit system.

BR
