Title: [Solved]mdadm error - package not installable
Post by: GoinEasy9 on 2014/12/04, 03:58:30

I aborted tonight's du after seeing this:

Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
serious bugs of mdadm (3.3.2-2 -> 3.3.2-3) <Outstanding>
 b1 - #771852 - package not installable due to postinst syntax error
Summary:
 mdadm(1 bug)
Are you sure you want to install/upgrade the above packages? [Y/n/?/...]

Seems there are bug reports already, and a patch, so, it might be worth waiting a bit.

If you do not use RAID, you might as well delete the package.

Thanks devil.  Funny though, I didn't get the same error when I updated my laptop.
