Hi there, I'm having some trouble getting mydns-mysql to work.
I entered the wrong mysql root password at configuration on first install, now I can't dpkg-reconfigure the package, as it says the package is not fully installed, so I have no way to change the mysql root password that is being used by dpkg. Re-installing doesn't change the problem. Here are the results. <install> nexus2:/var# apt-get install mydns-mysql Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree...

I've manually removed the dpkg conffiles, still no joy, I get the same errors when trying to install mydns-mysql, and no opportunity to re-configure the package. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Andreas Baitis
