Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
If there is a bug here, it is mostly likely in phpmyadmin rather than debconf or mysql-5.5, so I'm rearranging the assignment accordingly. But I could not reproduce this on the current version of Quantal. I followed your steps, except that on step 7, it worked. Please could you retest your steps on a fresh, fully upgraded installation of Quantal, and confirm that your exact steps do reproduce the problem? Once done, please change the bug status on phpmyadmin back to New. ** Also affects: phpmyadmin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: debconf (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: mysql-5.5 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: phpmyadmin (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to mysql-5.5 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030345 Title: debconf failed to configure phpmyadmin for mysql To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debconf/+bug/1030345/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
