Bug#787950: mdadm/checkarray: broken on current debian systems

[Raimund Jacob-Blödorn]

Dear Madduck, Dear Michael!

Thanks for providing checkarray with mdadm and friends. I really like 
them as I run several servers with RAID.

Please allow me to bring to your attention that on a normal, modern 
Debian 8 installation the script fails silently. The problem was 
discovered more than a year ago as this Debian bug: 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=787950

I collected some possible fixes here:

Most of them are trivial, but I dont know which one would be "your way". 
I think this issue can be resolved with a one-line fix and an update to 
the debian package.

Thank you very much,

	Raimund

PS: Sorry for contacted you directly. I collected your addresses from 
the scripts and changelog entries.
