"dropped" fsck? How could that happen. It's pretty vital. [I know for a
fact that it hasn't been dropped, anyway, as I had to use it just last week
- on a karmic system - and it's part of util-linux which is still showing as
"Priority: required"]

filesystem readonly for a fsck (LP: #363271). In karmic
click the 363271 & it will take you to the bug report.

Really? Have you booted to "friendly-recovery" today?

Sigh :-) we are talking about the Recovery Menu (friendly-recovery). :-)

I filed a bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/friendly-recovery/+bug/465809
[xfix missing from Recovery Menu]
You can follow along to see if it gets added back in, or if they've
determined that it doesn't really do anything anyway with the new xorg
system. My guess is the latter.

Thanks for the info. Wonder what we do if an fsch needs to be done on bootup. I still see that done on a scheduled basis during boot.
