--- Begin Message ---Package: mdadm Version: 3.3.2-3 Severity: serious Tags: patch Hi Installing mdadm 3.3.2-3 fails with the following error Setting up mdadm (3.3.2-3) ... W: mdadm: failed to load MD subsystem. Generating mdadm.conf... done (failed to scan arrays; /proc probably not mounted). rm: unrecognized option '--ignore-fail-on-non-empty' Try 'rm --help' for more information. dpkg: error processing package mdadm (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 as rm(1) doesn't support --ignore-fail-on-non-empty as parameter. However simply switching this to "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" is not successful either, as /var/lib/mdadm doesn't exist on systems where mdadm hasn't been installed before (and "rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty" does exit with an error code, if the directoy which it is supposed to remove doesn't exist). There are two alternatives to fix this, either by ignoring all bugs from rmdir, e.g. rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/mdadm || : or by checking if the directory in question exists beforehand. --- mdadm-3.3.2/debian/mdadm.postinst +++ mdadm-3.3.2/debian/mdadm.postinst @@ -100,7 +100,9 @@ if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" le 3.3.2-1; then rm -f /var/lib/mdadm/CONF-UNCHECKED /var/lib/mdadm/mdadm.conf-generated - rm --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/mdadm + if [ -d /var/lib/mdadm ]; then + rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty /var/lib/mdadm + fi fi ;; esac Regards Stefan Lippers-Hollmann -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.18.0-rc7-aptosid-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash

So closing it now. Actually I found and fixed this even before the previous release which introduced it, while doing testing, but forgot to commit the change and as the result, the release went w/o the fix. Oh well. Thank you for the report. /mjt
