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

[LanoxxthShaddow]

maybe the script could somehow check if the password in
/etc/mysql/debian.cnf is still the same as in the mysql database, or if
that doesnt work, then try to login as root and prompt the user for a
password? After all this bug has been in existance now for two years and
keeps surfacing all the time?

Also the pre-removal script could give a more descriptive error such as:
login with "debian-sys-maint" failed, check credentials.

Oh, bug #501655 seems to be a duplicate.
Cheers Lanoxx
