Bug#551600: [mdadm] package error?

[richard lucassen]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.0-2


This morning, using the usual "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" the
package "mdadm" was removed from testing. When trying to reinstall
mdadm, this happens:

Abort.

I like the CLI, but I suppose this is not what installing mdadm should
cause.
