btrfs-convert is missing a dependancy on Arch Linux and Manjaro #31

Closed unfa closed 2 years ago

unfa commented 2 years ago

Attempting to run btrfs-convert on Manjaro or Arch Linux results in this error:

❯ btrfs-convert 
btrfs-convert: error while loading shared libraries: libreiserfscore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Wouldn't that be a packaging error on those distributions?

unfa commented 2 years ago

Installing reiserfsprogs fixes it, but that package is not marked as a dependancy (as I guess it should not be required to use Btrfs...)

jeffmahoney commented 2 years ago

It is required to convert a reiserfs to btrfs and is optional. Those distros chose to build it with that functionality enabled. Either way, this is not a btrfs project issue. It's an issue for the people responsible for packaging it on those distros.

Ok, thanks, I'll rise this issue with the Arch Linux people.
