I resolved this by resetting the debian-sys-maint password: mysql -u root -p mysql ... set password for 'debian-sys-maint'@'localhost'=$password
were $password is the one listed in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf. The error message is incorrect in this case: Jan 8 10:20:21 [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/mysql/debian-start[4114]: Upgrading MySQL tables if necessary.
