Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.2-2
Severity: critical
Tags: patch
Justification: breaks the whole system
The /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdadm script is broken and
thus an initrd regeneration will render the whole system unbootable. The
problem is with line 65:
mkdir --parent /dev/md
as the (busybox version of) mkdir
included on the initrd.img does only handle short options (-p and -m). The
fix is simple, just replace the offending line with:
mkdir -p /dev/md
