missing mount.gfs2

I created a gfs2 partition with mkfs.gfs2 and now I want to mount it. It fails with the message “mount: unknown filesystem type ‘gfs2’”. According to the manpage for mount (-t option) I should look for a file /sbin/mount.gfs2. ==> There are other mount.type files but mount.gfs2 is missing.

In the /usr/sbin/ folder there is a link "gfs2_mount" that refers to the missing /sbin/mount.gfs2. When you try to run this Ubuntu tells you to install gfs2-utils, but this is already installed. remove+re-install does not help

When I look at the package descriptions at http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/gfs2-utils/filelist I see that the link is included in the package, but not the mount.gfs2 itself.
Is the gfs2-utils package incomplete ?? or should I run some other tool or install some other package ??
