OK - i just uninstalled mtop altogether using: apt-get purge mtop
- complained a bit but seems to have worked and nothing appears broken as a result (so far). installed mytop instead - which works (& uses a password protected mysql user id!). all other apt-get install's now seem to work ok as well, including apt-get install fail2ban - which mtop was breaking before. hope this helps someone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77980 Title: mtop failed to install (wrong/no password) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mtop/+bug/77980/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
