I ran software-center from the console, and I noticed this error:
debconf: DbDriver "passwords" warning: could not open
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat: access denied
Then I tried from scratch, by running ***sudo*** software-center
And everything worked fine, the password questions were displayed.
So I removed phpmyadmin from the Affects list and added software-center,
the bug is either in software-center or in dbconfig-common.
** Also affects: software-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** No longer affects: phpmyadmin (Ubuntu)

Title:
Installation loops in db-config-common when ran from software-center

Bug description:
While installing phpmyadmin in Precise from the console, everything runs
perfectly.
But when installing from software center, the following debconf questions
don't appear:
(from debian/config):
if [ ! -f /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup ]; then
db_input low phpmyadmin/setup-username || true
db_input low phpmyadmin/setup-password || true
fi
This results in an endless loop, where a debconf dialog is presented
mentioning that the db configuration failed and asking for
abort/retry/retry (skip questions).
Maybe the solution is to increase the db_input priority?
