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

[Dave Nelson]

I had this issue, but it did not concern the debian-sys-maint
credentials.  In my case I had defined a non-standard socket location in
my /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and the socket location in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
was different.  Therefore the server could not be stopped nor started
during upgrade.

I don't know the significance of "debian.cnf" -- I didn't create it.
Where did it come from, and for what is it used?  It seems like a fairly
fundamental problem that conflicts between these two files could make my
entire system un-upgradeable.
