This could be triggered by how my deploy setup works, but just in case others  have seen it.  I have a self extracting shell archive that I upload and execute via capistrano, which in turn runs chef solo.  chef bombs out every time when running the post install scripts for mdadm.   If I run apt-get install from my shell script through capistrano or directly from the command line manually it works fine, but one more layer through chef and it bombs.  Looks like an environment issue.
