Summary0009084: lvmresize is missing the /usr/libexec/lvresize_fs_helper
Description

When trying to resize LVM volume after installation of 2024.4, the lvresize throws error about missing the lvresize_fs_helper.

lvresize -r -L +1MB /dev/mapper/example--vg-home

Rounding size to boundary between physical extents: 4.00 MiB.
Size of logical volume example-vg/home changed from <207.71 GiB (53173 extents) to 207.71 GiB (53174 extents).
File system ext4 found on kombajn-vg/home mounted at /home.
Extending file system ext4 to 207.71 GiB (223027920896 bytes) on example-vg/home...
/usr/libexec/lvresize_fs_helper: execvp failed: No such file or directory
Failed to extend file system with lvresize_fs_helper.
File system extend error.
Logical volume example-vg/home successfully resized.

As workaround it is possible to use the resize2fs manually, but it is annoying :

resize2fs /dev/mapper/example--vg-home

lvm2 is a package that comes from Debian and is not something we package and ship in Kali. I would recommend opening a bug with them to get the missing binary included.
