Bug#390401: debian-installer: mdadm postinst script fails during install

[Pedro Rodrigues <reis@fc.ul.pt>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: beta3
Severity: important

During instalation of the base system in a machine with RAID arrays 
configured the mdadm.postinst script as failed.
The problem is that the script /usr/share/debconf/confmodule is 
returning a nonzero value making the script madm.postinst to stop with 
an error status and the installer aborts the instalation.
I have no success in figuring out what is the problem but puting exit 0 
at the end of the confmodule script allowed the instalation to proceed.
This is not a solution, of course, because it breaks postinst scripts. 
After the minimal instalation is finished I had to comment/remove the 
line and do a dpkg-reconfigure -a to have the packages properly 
configured. At this time, the script mdadm.postinst worked perfectly so 
it seems to be a problem caused by the installer.
Since this is a production machine, I am not able to do more tests here 
but I can try to assemble a testing box if needed.

Thanks

Pedro
