Package: mdadm Version: 3.3.2-3 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hi
Installing mdadm 3.3.2-3 fails with the following error
Setting up mdadm (3.3.2-3) ...
W: mdadm: failed to load MD subsystem.
Generating mdadm.conf... done (failed to scan arrays; /proc probably not
mounted).
rm: unrecognized option '--ignore-fail-on-non-empty'
Try 'rm --help' for more information.
dpkg: error processing package mdadm (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
as rm(1) doesn't support --ignore-fail-on-non-empty as parameter.
However simply switching this to "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" is
not successful either, as /var/lib/mdadm doesn't exist on systems where
mdadm hasn't been installed before (and "rmdir
--ignore-fail-on-non-empty" does exit with an error code, if the
directoy which it is supposed to remove doesn't exist). There are two
alternatives to fix this, either by ignoring all bugs from rmdir, e.g.
rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/mdadm || :
or by checking if the directory in question exists beforehand.
