Package: bugzilla Version: 2.22.1-2 Severity: important Hi, first I must admit that I do not yet understand how dbconfig-common works - maybe this bug has to be reassigned to that package. Here is what I did: I installed Debian from v3.1 net install including bugzilla. Then I did an apt-get dist-upgrade to testing, mainly because I wanted to relive an older bugzilla which was dumped by a MySQL 5.0 database. Unfortunately the new bugzilla version could not be configured during install because some of the configure scripts failed. Since it happened somewhen during the upgrade process I wasn't able to note the message. :-( I tried: dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla dpkg --purge bugzilla; apt-get install bugzilla to no avail. Everytime I got either access denied for the root user of MySQL or for the bugzilla admin user. I cannot tell why it stopped sometimes for root, sometimes for bugzilla admin.
I got it to work by editing /etc/dbconfig-common/bugzilla.conf by hand (all entries below dbc_dbtype="mysql" where empty, so I filled in dbc_dbuser, _dbpass, _dbname a.s.o.) and removing temporarily the password for MySQL's root user. Hopefully that is somewhat understandable.
