Description bryanhoop 2019-11-24 13:32:32 UTC
mke2fs is currently provided by e2fsprogs. There are two issues here: the e2fsprogs version of mke2fs is placed in /usr/sbin so most android flashing scripts (including `fastboot update`) cannot locate the binary. This might actually be a good thing because it appears that the mke2fs provided by e2fsprogs is not compatible with android flashing (it causes cryptic formatting errors) if it is symlinked to /usr/bin.

android-tools should provide the correct mke2fs that is part of the Android SDK and which works properly to format android filesystems.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
