Bug#369935: mdadm: Error in postinst script

[Sylvain Archenault]

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.4.1-3
Severity: normal

Installation fails on my system. Error is in mdadm.postinst script on line 14.
To fix it, I changed dev/null into /dev/null.

The error was : 
Generating device nodes... /var/lib/dpkg/info/mdadm.postinst: line 14: dev/null: Aucun fichier ou répertoire de ce type
