fsck problems

[th-otto]

Our fsck (the wrapper program, version 1.42 from ~2014) seems to have some problems running the correct executable.

• When i run it on an file image that is not mounted, it keeps forking itself (until mint halts because it runs out of process ids)
• When i run it on an device with some filesystem mounted, it does not do anything, not even report whether the filesystem is clean or not

It only works when i run e2fsck directly.

Also the archive looks wrong: the symlinks fsck.ext2 etc should point to e2fsck, not fsck.

I vaguely remember experiencing something similar in the past. I thought it's my own stupidity, then noticed that the fsck script from SpareMiNT also directly calls e2fsck so I was like ok, good enough and didn't look any further.
