Hi,

I was wondering if this is still a problem for you?

This is karmic alpha 6.

The installer says there are dependency problems with libgd2-noxpm but that it's removing it.

Then, towards the end, I get the following:

<messages>
Configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common? y

package should create its MySQL database and user.

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.

Is mysql running?

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

I'm afraid I can't add anything now, as I've upgraded several times and the issue has gone, so I'd close it. Thanks, anyway :-)

Closing as per user.
