Public bug reported:
A simple "apt install phpmyadmin" does not work in xenial.
1. Install xenial. I am using a vagrant box, should be the same as any other
normal installation.
2. apt update && apt install phpmyadmin
3. "Please choose the web server that should be automatically configured to run
phpMyAdmin.", I choose "apache2"
4. "The phpmyadmin package must have a database installed and configured before
it can be used. This can be optionally handled with dbconfig-common. [...]
Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common?", I choose "Yes"
5. "Please provide a password for phpmyadmin to register with the database
server. If left blank, a random password will be generated.", I leave it blank
6. "Please provide the password for the administrative account "root" with
which this package should create its MySQL database and user.", I haven't got a
clue of what the root password of mysql is, since I haven't set any, so I leave
it blank
7. I get "An error occurred while installing the database: mysql: [Warning]
mysql: Empty value for 'port' specified. Will throw an error in future versions
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) .", I choose to "ignore" and now I'm left
with a phpmyadmin installation that does not work because the required mysql
tables for phpmyadmin are never installed
