Public bug reported: I updated to Oneiric, and during the update of the phpmyadmin package, a GUI showed up, asking me if I wanted to upgrade some database. Not remembering my database password after several attempts, I unchecked the case which should allow me to do it manually later. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, and still try to connect to the database. Using "abort" in the Abort/Retry/"Retry with same" dialog also fail. I had to xkill (!!!) the dialog, Ctrl+C didn't work. After the end of update, update-manager run dpkg-configure -a, and this time showed me a curses interface, when showing "No" successfully bypassed the database update.
