I finally got around to test this myself. Unfortunately I can not reproduce the described behaviour by Sentrist. I purged cacti and dbconfig-common several times and most of the times things worked all right.
However, I think I saw one time where the DB questions were NOT asked, but in that case I did not get the error message either. I am not 100% sure if I just didn't wait long enough. And I was to eager to retry, to really save the state things were in. Might this issue be related to the order in which the packages are unpacked? If dbconfig-common is not installed yet, I first get the question about which httpd to configure and only much later the question about the database. While if dbconfig-common is already installed, the order is the other way around and the questions come right after each other. Maybe there are conditions or timeouts where dbconfig-common is just not ready enough to configure cacti? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005952 Title: Software center does not ask dbconfig question for mysql administrator password preventing cacti from installing properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cacti/+bug/1005952/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
