Fix mdadm for squeeze-backports (dependency to initscripts 13.3)
Dear mdadm maintainers,
Many thanks for your work. I've noticed that the mdadm backport for
squeeze isn't installable as a standard backport. Usually all
dependencies must be fulfilled within stable or backports. The
discussion on the mailinglist didn't end [1] or didn't started [2].
I have done the following to fix this:
#apt-get -t squeeze-backports source mdadm
virtually revert the following git commits in
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mdadm/
e62ede1a85099c9515c3d902ada1948de993c90f and
d98f009ef8866481ad7c848b6b9dcc973c578a7b
(see patch below [3])
Sorry for putting my name in changelog. I wasn't able to convince
dpkg-buildpackage to build without modifying changelog.
I have installed the resulting package on my Squeeze amd64 running a
rootfs on mdadm-raid1 and it booted fine as expected (without
initscripts 13.3 which exists only beyond squeeze).
Please upload a fixed version of the backport or at least remove the
curent one, since this irritates more users besides me.
Many thanks again and kind regards,
Marcus
