What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name.

I would like to see an update to util-linux.

Is this an update to existing package or new package request?

Update

Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify.

Already available in AL2023

Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc)

We have 2.37, but 2.39 included a new X-mount.idmap feature allowing uid/gid remapping on filesystem mount. I found I needed this capability today, but could not use it because the version shipped with AL2023 is too old.

Without this capability, we would need to write our own mount utility or use mount-idmapped, which appears to require mounting volumes twice (once unmapped, once remapped).
