I have a file /etc/mysql/debian.cnf, it contains this (password changed):
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password = XXXXXXXXXXXXX
changelog.Debian shows that this was added at version 3.23.47-3 so it should
work for you. According to /usr/share/doc/mysql-server/README.Debian:
You may never ever delete the special "debian-sys-maint" user. This user
together with the credentials in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf are used by the
init scripts to stop the server as they would require knowledge of the
mysql root users password else.
Make sure that you have that file, if you don't set it up and add the
appropriate mysql user to see if things improve.
