Description :
util-linux contains a large variety of low-level system utilities
necessary for a functional Linux system. This includes, among other
things, configuration tools such as fdisk and system programs such
as login.
This package replaces all of util-linux, mount, fdisk (if installed as a
seperate package), lptune, and losetup. It also contains all the
documentation included with the original tar.gz file.

instead of nulls.

- changed installation of rdev and friends to not install on non-install
- added tunelp and sfdisk
- Updated to util-linux-2.9h
- Added full documentation and Obsoletes line
- Modified MCONFIG to not install suid binaries and instead use the attr
flags in the spec file to allow non-root build

targets) and re-enabled mount here as mount 2.9. Added losetup, mount
and swapon/swapoff as well as man pages
- fixed makefile for location of rdev and friends instead of mv -f here
- strip fdisk in buildroot correctly (#718)
