Hi Chuck, Hmm, I wasn't aware that you had requested any additional information. And when I go to the page provided in the original message I got https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/520058, I can't see anything either.
Anyhow, the problem is that I basically bypassed this issue: I had to upgrade to 9.04 for other reasons, so this issue just went away for me. Which also means that I have no way of providing any more hard information. Trying to remember what I did about this back in February: I seem to recall that I guessed it had to do with the MySQL 'root' password somehow. I think that the upgrade error went away when I set the MySQL 'root' password to nothing, and then retried the upgrade. But I cannot guarantee that this is what actually happened, or just some idea I had. Sorry about this. Great work on Ubuntu otherwise! It was such a liberating experience when I (re)discovered Linux through Ubuntu about 3 years ago.
