Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Attempting to install a package that uses dbconfig-common twice or
install then purge a package results in an uninstallable or unpurgable
package.

The problem is that the second time the scripts are run, they try to
find the mysql administrator username.  However this turns out to be
the pgsql admin, postgres!  Naturally mysqld doesn't know about this
postgres user and it bombs.

It appears the second time around the scripts don't realise that they
are trying to configure a postgresql and not mysql database. This
problem is visible in my own package as well as db-test.  If you want
a copy of my package I can make it available.
