hello
I am facing a similar problem; mysql-server will not install:
apt-get install mysql-server
[ ... ]
Unable to set password for the MySQL "root" user
│
│
│
│ An error occurred while setting the password for the MySQL administrative
user. This may have happened because the account already has a password, or │
│ because of a communication problem with the MySQL server.
│
│
│
│ You should check the account's password after the package installation.
│
│
│
│ Please read the /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-5.6/README.Debian file for more
information
I have already deleted:
rm -R /etc/mysql/
rm /var/lib/mysql/debian-*.flag
rm -R /var/lib/mysql
and it still not installing
there is nothing in the logs - in fact my /var/log/syslog is EMPTY now
any suggestions?
