Summary: printf argument missing

Swapon wants/needs block devices for arguments.  (IE, Don't use the
raw device.)  The "funny" error message is due to a missing argument
in a printf.  (Something bad like "printf (%s  : %s\n", arg1);")

Also, if the device is currently being used for swapping, you get the
same error message.
