Hi all,
Trying to install mdadm, but apt-get says it also wants to install a whole mess of irrelevant 'dependencies'.
# apt-get install mdadm

The following extra packages will be installed:
citadel-common citadel-mta citadel-server db4.6-util libcitadel1 libical0 libsieve2-1
Recommended packages:
mail-transport-agent
The following NEW packages will be installed:
citadel-common citadel-mta citadel-server db4.6-util libcitadel1 libical0 libsieve2-1 mdadm
0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1330kB of archives.
After this operation, 5247kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n
Just to make sure that mdadm is the raid handler and not something else:
tool to administer Linux MD arrays (software RAID)
The mdadm utility can be used to create, manage, and monitor MD
(multi-disk) arrays for software RAID or multipath I/O.
This package automatically configures mdadm to assemble arrays during the
system startup process. If not needed, this functionality can be disabled.
First question: how do I fix this so I just get the raid package(s), not the useless stuff?
Second question: what in the world does groupware have to do with raid arrays?
Thanks!
