i ran into this exact same sequence. the problem occurs when mysql-
server is installed as a dependancy of mythtv instead of being setup
(with accounts & passwords) ahead of time. i fixed my install by
assigning a mysql root password, reconfiguring mythtv-database to use
that password & finally reinstalling mythtv:
mysql -u root mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('YourPasswordHere') WHERE user='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit
dpkg-reconfigure --force mythtv-database
apt-get install mythtv
** Changed in: mythtv (Ubuntu)
