[Bug 353132] [NEW] mythtv will not accept non-blank mysql password

[TheKorn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mythtv-backend

OS:  ubuntu jaunty amd64 beta (beta 1?  :) )
version:  alternate install


CLEAN INSTALL


steps to reproduce:

*  format and install ubuntu jaunty amd64 beta

then...

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
     (put in a mysql root user password, say for example WHOOPS)

sudo apt-get install apache2   (since we'll need it later)

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart   (so mysql is running and the password
has been 'flushed through')

mysql -u root -p

      mysql will prompt for your root user's password.  put it in,
should result in mysql prompt

      So we know that mysql is running and the root user's password is
good.  type exit or quit to get out of mysql.

sudo apt-get install mythtv-backend mythtv-frontend

      gets the backend and frontend packages

sudo apt-get install mythtv-database

      (???  shouldn't this be a dependency of mythtv-backend, since you
can't run a backend without a database connection??)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database


****FAIL!!!****    mythtv-database's reconfiguration will not accept ANY password for the mysql root user, *even though we tested it above!*  (Should accept the mysql user "root"'s password to set up the myth tv database stuff.)
