Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.2-7
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Ok, not quite unusable, but unupgradable. Which I suppose may have
security concequences as well.
Anyway, the problem is that during preconfigure, the script hangs while
continuously saying "E: unrecognised device string: /dev/md/0"
Looking at the script, the problem is that this matches
/dev/md*|md*),
but not
/dev/md[0-9]*|/dev/md_d[0-9]*)
This, plus the while true, which perhaps should be
while [ $ERROR -eq 0 ], leads to the endless loop.
I do not have enough knowledge of the purpose of the script to write a
patch just now, but I suppose it's not too hard to fix.
Thanks,
Bas Wijnen
