Bug#384222: mdadm: Fails to parse mdadm.conf on upgrade

[Gabor Gombas]

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.3.git200608202239-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

When upgrading mdadm, I got the following message:

----->
Configuring mdadm
-----------------

The array you have specified (/dev/md0) is not listed in the configuration file /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf.
Therefore it cannot be started during boot, unless you correct the configuration file and recreate the
initial ramdisk.
<-----

But md0 _is_ listed in mdadm.conf.  Maybe the postinst script is
confused by the multi-line syntax?
