[Bug 774964] Re: package bacula-director-mysql (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 10

[Dan Pitic]

Yes, the problem did occur during removal and I was only able to enter
the mysql password once.  At the time, it was unclear whether dpkg was
asking for the mysql bacula user password or the mysql admin password.
I incorrectly assumed it was asking for the mysql bacula password, when
instead it actually wanted the mysql admin password.  There was no way I
could see of going back and re-entering the password.

I removed all of the bacula packages and re-installed just the bacula
client package.  Everything is working fine now.

I guess the problem wasn't actually with bacula, but more so with dpkg
not allowing me to re-enter the incorrect password and also not being
specific enough about which mysql user it wanted a password for.

Thanks for your quick response time with this issue.  Should I open up a
new bug for dpkg and transfer this description there?
