the e2fsprogs thing is strange. Looks like a broken debian mirror. Do you use
an official mirror?

Btw. i just found a shortcomming in the release-test that installs the last
released elbe version into the initvm and than upgrades it (using --devel
switch). So install from packages was not tested. :(

By really testing creating an initvm i found out, that one of the last commits
accidently removed a runtime dependency. So no initvm can be created, because
configuring of elbe-daemon fails.

I just uploaded v1.9.24 with the fixed dependencies.
