--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.70b Severity: critical Justification: renders system unbootable initramfs-tools no longer provides the RAID functionality but leaves that to mdadm, which started to provide it with the 2.5-1 release. As part of this transition, I thought it was agreed that initramfs-tools would conflict with << 2.5-1 as soon as it drops the RAID functionality. This conflict does not exist in the 0.70b release. If someone with root on RAID ends up upgrading only initramfs-tools (slow upgrade to etch, backports, etc.) without upgrading mdadm to 2.5-1 or beyond, the initramfs will fail to bring up the root system and hence render the system unbootable. Please fix. For completeness, here's the related IRC discussion: 15:18:11 < madduck> maks: uh, why exactly does initramfs-tools not conflict with mdadm? 15:19:08 < maks> madduck: no reason to do so 15:19:33 < madduck> except that if mdadm < 2.5.2-X is installed and initramfs-tools upgraded, RAID systems won't boot anymore? 15:19:48 < madduck> as they used to? 15:20:08 < madduck> i thought we had discussed this. 15:20:29 < maks> madduck: no i don't add gratious conflicts 15:20:48 < madduck> wtf? 15:21:21 < madduck> this sounds like a grave bug to me. 15:21:40 < maks> madduck: i'm watching you entering testing 15:21:47 < maks> and won't be there before so be cool 15:22:22 < madduck> maks: i disagree. we don't have package relations to manually make sure we don't need them. 15:22:25 < maks> madduck: and yes evms already handled that phase 15:22:29 < madduck> please add the conflict or do i need to go approach ctte? 15:25:13 < maks> madduck: it was not agreed 15:25:34 < madduck> maks: you still did not provide a reason. and you're starting to annoy me. 15:25:41 < maks> madduck: as i already told you mdadm will be in testing before initramfs-tools so get out of the way 15:25:56 < madduck> maks: i will now file a grave bug, and if you don't handle it appropriately which means fix or argue properly, i'l;; go to ctte. 15:26:12 < maks> madduck: loose your time if you feel so -- Please do not send copies of list mail to me; I read the list! .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system
