Package: mysql-server-5.1 Version: 5.1.49-3 Severity: normal On a fresh install, the system asks you to set a password. If you set it to an unsanitized string (I'm not exactly sure which character(s) I had that were invalid but it wasn't ' or " as noted before) the install fails and access using a mysql client is blocked.
