[Bug 153868] Re: package mysql-server-5.0 5.0.45-1ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade - Access denied for user 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'

[Steve Riddett]

I got this bug and was directed here.  For the record, I think it
occured for me because I had created the database from a complete
mysqldump of all databases - *including the mysql database* - from
another machine.

So the password for debian-sys-maint would have been set for the other
machine rather than the one it was actually running on.

Changing the password as per the instructions above worked for me.

I don't think this is really a distro error.
