This is easily reproduced on 12.04 (still) by running the following from a
fresh install (without mysql installed already).
Just run:
sudo apt-get install bacula-director-mysql
Then you'll see a series of debconf questions:
- [Configuring mysql-server-5.5]
fill in a new mysql root password for
- [Configuring mysql-server-5.5]
repeat for confirmation of password
- [Configuring bacula-director-mysql]
Configure database for bacula-director-mysql with dbconfig-common: Yes
- [Configuring bacula-director-mysql]
Provide mysql root password
- [Configuring bacula-director-mysql]
MySQL application password for bacula-director-mysql: passw0rd
Password Confirmation: passw0rd
- [Configuring bacula-director-mysql]
An error occurred while installing the database:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
If at this point you choose "retry", you will be prompted with all the
configuration questions once more and another attempt will be made at
performing
the operation. "retry (skip questions)" will immediately attempt the
operation
again, skipping all questions. If you choose "abort", the operation will
fail
and you will need to downgrade, reinstall, reconfigure this package, or
otherwise manually intervene to continue using it. If you choose "ignore",
the
operation will continue, ignoring further errors from dbconfig-common.
Next step for database installation:
abort
retry
retry (skip questions)
ignore
The easy work around is to simply do:
sudo apt-get install mysql
sudo apt-get install bacula-director-mysql
