Public bug reported: On installing mysql5-5 server with Software-Center debconf ask for the root passphrase.
I give a very long with many special characters to it. Unfortunally debconf failed with the massage: " 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-5.5/README.Debian file for more information. " In the case that there is interest of handling this ticket I can give the pasword for reproducing purposes if the ticket can be handeld and keep as private.
