Hello Markus, Thanks for your quick reply.
Here is the output of the postinst script: ============================================================================== Creating config file /etc/icinga-web/conf.d/database-ido.xml with new version database config successful: /etc/icinga-web/conf.d/database-ido.xml ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'icinga_web'@'localhost' (using password: YES) dpkg: error processing icinga-web (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: icinga-web E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ============================================================================== Following your reply, I did some more testing and the cause is definitely my .my.cnf. I can reproduce the error when install as my user (who has a .my.cnf) with sudo. The issue does not occur when .my.cnf is removed. I had a look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/password-security-user.html and even though using the -p parameter is not advised, the use of MYSQL_PWD is not recommended either.
