[Bug 1030345] Re: debconf failed to configure phpmyadmin for mysql

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

If there is a bug here, it is mostly likely in phpmyadmin rather than
debconf or mysql-5.5, so I'm rearranging the assignment accordingly.

But I could not reproduce this on the current version of Quantal. I
followed your steps, except that on step 7, it worked. Please could you
retest your steps on a fresh, fully upgraded installation of Quantal,
and confirm that your exact steps do reproduce the problem? Once done,
please change the bug status on phpmyadmin back to New.

** Also affects: phpmyadmin (Ubuntu)

Title:
  debconf failed to configure phpmyadmin for mysql

Status in “debconf” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “mysql-5.5” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “phpmyadmin” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On phpmyadmin install debconf comes up two times.

  The first time to ask which webserver should be utilized. -> This
  works.

  The second time to configure the database for phpmyadmin with
  dbconfig-common. -> This works not.

  Every time I agree debconf tells  me to retry it(a dropdown menu with
  abort, retry, ignore).

  Steps to reproduce:
  1.Install apache2
  2.Install mysql and set root account for it.
  3.Install phpmyadmin
  4.See during phpmyadmin installation debconf coming up for apache2 configuration(no problems there).
  5.See during phpmyadmin installation debconf coming up for mysql configuration.
  6.Choose to configure database with dbconfig-common.
  7.See it failing.

  
  Additional:

  The mysql database is configured(with root account just with
  installation).
