You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: debconf
While configuring a package that will access mysql database, the mysql client will use .my.cnf file and if there's a password= line in it it will take precedence over the entered password in the dialog box. A warning about .my.cnf would be a nice idea. I spent two hours trying to figure out why my password was rejected in debconf but it worked with mysql -u root -p in command line. :) ** Affects: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Debconf should give a warning about .my.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/719239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.1 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
