The -l (lock) has been temporary disabled due to conflict with
udev (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576)
The problem is fixed since util-linux v2.25 (Jul 2014).
During runtime, you need the following additional
dependencies:
- util-linux >= v2.19 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s),
+ util-linux >= v2.19 required for agetty -s
v2.21 required for tests in test/
+ v2.25 required for fsck -l
dbus >= 1.4.0 (strictly speaking optional, but recommended)
sulogin (from util-linux >= 2.22 or sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended,
required for tests in test/)
