Also the configure script presents me with the admin db root password
change dialog. I have a root password set and do not wish to change
it and therefore follow the dialog instructions and enter nothing.
Regardless of the above package configuration errors the mysql server
is running and operational. This is my Sid victim system for
discovering these types of problems. (My main desktop.) How may I
assist in improving the packaging to avoid this upgrade failure?
