[Bug 1099088] [NEW] debconf failed to set mysql5-5 root passphrase

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On installing mysql5-5 server with Software-Center debconf ask for the
root passphrase.

I give a very long with many special characters to it.

Unfortunally debconf failed with the massage:

"
Unable to set password for the MYSQL "root" user

An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL
administrative user. This may have happened because the account already
has a password, or because of a communication problem with the MySQL
server.

You should check the account's password after the package installation.

Please read the /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.5/README.Debian file for
more information.

"

In the case that there is interest of handling this ticket I can give
the pasword for reproducing purposes if the ticket can be handeld and
keep as private.
