Extundelete won't install
I figured my thumbdrive distro (KNOPPIX) would be the best place to have a utility to recover any files I might accidentally delete from my ext4 partitions.
But, I get unresolved dependencies related to e2fs when I try to install it. I checked with dumpe2fs and I have the version needed according to the extundelte website.
<rant>Why is is SO EXTREMELY HARD to install ANYTHING??? If you download the source, you have to go through the whole makefile mess which requires (among other things) a bunch of packages which aren't in the repos, or you can try the package route and end up with unresolved dependencies! </rant>
Is there a guide anywhere on how to actually get stuff other people wrote to compile in Linux?

Greetings, thumbdrive.
What was the process you used to 'install' extundelete?

Greetings again, thumbdrive.
Using Synaptic, I notice the following:
extundelete has 5 dependencies;
the first dependency, e2fslibs >= 1.41.99, is currently unmet; but,
this unmet dependency has a solution in the testing repo.
I would expect Synaptic to install extundelete AND to upgrade e2fslibs
if it has access to the testing repo.
I suggest you give Synaptic a try if you haven't.
