I understood you reported the issue to the package maintainer. But apparently you meant something else. What did you mean with "That's done"? >>> Having a sight to my install, dbconfig-mysql actually isn't installed, >>> and when I ask to install it, the package "dbconfig-no-thanks" need to >>> be uninstalled. >> dbconfig-mysql and dbconfig-no-thanks conflict on purpose, so can't be >> installed together. But are you now saying that you saw the message >> above while dbconfig-no-thanks is installed? > Yes, that's what happened. Do you still have logging? If you reinstall the package (eg. phpmyadmin, does it still say this?) Could you send me the logging of that with dbc_debug=true set? Be sure to remove your password from the logging though. >> That is a severe bug, as >> dbconfig-no-thanks is supposed to prevent dbconfig-common from doing >> anything (including emitting the warning you see above. > > Well, mySQL still works anyway :) dbconfig-common has nothing to do with the MySQL package itself. dbconfig-common is a helper package for packages like phpmyadmin to manage the connection to MySQL (or some other database). >>> Is it now necessary to do so ? >> Yes, unless you don't want dbconfig-common support.Than you should leave >> dbconfig-no-thanks installed and leave dbconfig-mysql uninstalled. >> >> How and why did you install dbconfig-no-thanks in the first place? > > As far as I know, this was done the first time I installed LAMP, a while > ago.

This is worrying. dbconfig-no-thanks should not be pulled in by default. It is an alternative that should always come after a dbconfig-<dbtype> package in the list of dependencies. I would really like to learn why this package got installed. dbconfig-no-thanks doesn't exist very long yet, so it must be installed not too long ago. Paul
