Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mysql-server
2.6.24-19-server #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 18:43:06 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ubuntu 8.04.2
I was unable to connect to a fresh install of mysql-server as the root
user didn't work without a password. I was not asked for the password in
the installation phase. So I tried sudo apt-get autoremove --purge
mysql-server and then sudo apt-get install mysql-server and this
happened:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server
