this is because we've removed anonymous access to the database for
default installations. please trust us that this is a good thing :)
if you want to test connectivity to your mysql database, you will need
to set up yourself an account/password, or recreate the default
access.

before sarge came out, there were three versions available
stable: 3.23
testing: 4.0.x/4.1.x
unstable: 4.0.x/4.1.x
now, there are only two versions available (4.0.x/4.1.x) in all
three releases. at some point, this will change when we introduce
5.0 into unstable, when we will probably at least remove 4.0.x from
the unstable and testing releases.
so about this bug, i'm not sure what more you want from it. if there
are no objections, i'll go ahead and close it...
