[Solved]mdadm error - package not installable
« 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.

Lettura elenco dei pacchetti... Fatto
Generazione albero delle dipendenze
Lettura informazioni sullo stato... Fatto
I seguenti pacchetti saranno RIMOSSI:

0 aggiornati, 0 installati, 1 da rimuovere e 59 non aggiornati.
Dopo quest'operazione, verranno occupati 0 B di spazio su disco.
Continuare? [S/n]

Rimozione di mdadm (3.3.2-2)...
Eliminazione dei file di configurazione di mdadm (3.3.2-2)...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postrm: 9: /usr/share/debconf/confmodule: DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND: parameter not set

Si sono verificati degli errori nell'elaborazione:
