No, I think that's not the reason. It's more like the following:
1. A new user is created or an exiting user is updated with a 'grant'
sql command.
2. The tables for the database are created, which for some reason
fails.
3. postinst cleans up the mess by droping the database and droping
the user, which is not a very good idea if the user already
existed like in your case.Unfortunately, /usr/share/wwwconfig-common/mysql-createuser.sh does not tell me if a user already exists, so I have to check before and drop the user only if it didn't exists. > Please make that script a bit more fool prove :) I will, thanks for bug.
