Bug#600875: lvm2: 'Should-Start' should depend on mdadm-raid and not mdadm

[Alexander Clouter]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.39-8
Severity: grave
Tags: squeeze
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

Apart from adding the tweak detailed in #568838, an upgrade from lenny to squeeze causes dpkg to grumble about:
----
insserv: There is a loop between service checkfs and lvm2 if started
insserv:  loop involving service lvm2 at depth 8
insserv: There is a loop between service checkfs and lvm2 if started
insserv:  loop involving service mdadm at depth 6
insserv:  loop involving service mountall at depth 4
insserv:  loop involving service checkfs at depth 3
insserv:  loop involving service udev at depth 1
insserv: There is a loop between service mountall and checkfs if started
insserv:  loop involving service networking at depth 5
insserv:  loop involving service urandom at depth 13
insserv:  loop involving service portmap at depth 14
insserv: Max recursions depth 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions depth 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions depth 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions depth 99 reached
insserv: Max recursions depth 99 reached
insserv: exiting now without changing boot order!
update-rc.d: error: insserv rejected the script header
----

Others have reported similar things for other packages (hibernate: #554905) and the tweak was to replace mdadm with mdadm-raid; which seems to work for me although I have no idea if this is the Right Solution(tm).

Marking 'grave' as the #554905 did the same :)

Cheers
