Public bug reported: The installation was triggered as a requirement for installing mythtv.
The package version was mysql-server 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1. After manually initializing the files and mythtv (which sort of worked - I had to do a "sudo bash" to get the password prompt from the "mysql" command to work, from a # prompt), repeating the install appears to work.
