--- Begin Message ---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.

Thus also reverted the mdadm-raid hack used to fix the bug in the 2.5.2-9 upload. * Recognise devfs-style device nodes by fixing a regression bug in the root RAID autodetection code (closes: #381007), which was introduced as part of the fix for #380596 in the 2.5.2-9 upload. The bug is RC, but it only applies to unstable right now, so I am not pumping up the urgency. The autodetection code now doesn't care about the actual name of the array device, but instead only insists that it exists, is a block device, and recognised as an array by mdadm (mdadm --detail). * Added safety net to prevent endless loops in RAID autodetection. Now just falls back to starting all arrays from the initramfs if it fails to determine an acceptable array for the / filesystem in three tries (closes: #381284, also see #381007). * Added udev rules file to prevent udev from ever creating md device nodes, which can get in the way of mdadm (also see next item). * Added a workaround to the initramfs hook to deal with the problem with /dev/md/X device nodes when /dev/mdX is also present and version-0 superblocks are in use (closes: #381181). * checkarray: correctly recognise when the kernel is too old for parity checks, or when there are no redundant arrays present (closes: #380746). * checkarray: now supports -s|--status switch to query parity check status for given devices. * checkarray: now supports -x|--cancel switch to cancel running checks. * mkconf: now also outputs 'MAILADDR root' and 'HOMEHOST <system>'. * Added README.checkarray with some information about the check process. * Added /usr/share/doc/mdadm/FAQ to answer some FAQs.
