Can I ask to add e2fsprogs to %base-packages? Because there is no
e2fsprogs, there are no commands like mkfs.ext2 or mkfs.ext4 in
the user profile during the installation. Commands are in
/gnu/store/*e2fsprogs*/sbin/ and are usable. But it would be
more convenient to have them available in the user profile.

Commit 45eac6cdf5c8d9d7b0c564b105c790d2d2007799 removed e2fsprogs from
‘%base-packages’.  Instead, e2fsprogs is added to
/run/current-system/profile if and only if an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
is listed in the ‘file-systems’ field.

Could it be that your OS config doesn’t have any of these?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
