Binary package hint: debconf
While configuring a package that will access mysql database, the mysql
client will use .my.cnf file and if there's a password= line in it it
will take precedence over the entered password in the dialog box. A
warning about .my.cnf would be a nice idea. I spent two hours trying to
figure out why my password was rejected in debconf but it worked with
mysql -u root -p in command line. :)
** Affects: mysql-5.1 (Ubuntu)
