tags 677844 unreproducible moreinfo thanks Hello Tom, thanks for your report.
The password previously stored in $MYSQL_PWD is not working. > I'm afraid I can't confirm the problem with my sid VM, MySQL is the same version as yours. Is it possible to share the output of the postinst script, what exactly is the error? Do you have any mysql connection info defined via .my.cnf or the global my.cnf? Are there any special chars in your password that might cause the problem? echo "UPDATE nsm_user SET user_password='""$pwhash_e""', user_salt = > '""$salt_e""' WHERE user_name = 'root';" \ > | mysql -h "${dbc_dbhost:=localhost}" -u "$dbc_dbuser" > -p$dbc_dbpass "$dbc_dbname" > I'd not like to use this due to the root password will be visible via ps or the /proc filesystem...
