Bug#640541: mdadm: Initrd image only for running Linux kernel updated.

[Paul Menzel]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


I had `mdadm` on hold for quite a while and updated the package today.

        [UPGRADE] mdadm 3.1.1-1 -> 3.1.4-1+8efb9d1

The confusing part is that the initramfs was upgraded only for my
current self-build Linux kernel and not for all the other Linux kernels.

        $ LANG=C sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

        Current status: 16 updates [-1].

Should I run update-initramfs manually? For example the following Linux
kernels are also installed.

        ii  linux-image-3.0.0-1-686-pae       3.0.0-3
        ii  linux-image-3.0.0-1-amd64         3.0.0-3


Thanks,

Paul
