Public bug reported:
Running linuxmint 18, had trouble installating mysql-server. After a
fair amount of frustration, I dug around, found a temp file that had a
command in it to change my root password, my password was there (in
plain text), and had a clear problem with the apostrophe in the
password. It looked something like this:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' =
PASSWORD('YouWeren'tExpectingThis');
I didn't save the file, did successfully install MySQL with a password
without the single quote, and I'm not going to undo that all just to
give a better bug report. I'm sure your programmers won't have any
trouble tracking this down.
