installer does not create cacti database

[chantra]

When installing cacti from a fresh install, the installer fails on filling up cacti database with the following message:

An error seems to have occurred while installing the database. If it's of any help, this was the error encountered:

mysql said: ERROR 1049 (42000): Unknown database 'cacti'

a workaround is to open a new sheel, connect to mysql as root and then create the database with:
create database cacti;

Confirmed, dbconfig does not create a mysql database for cacti during installation.

I also can confirm, dbconfig-common does not create database.
This bug also affects all packages that depends on dbconfig-common and in fact it's dbconfig-common bug.

I reported bug for dbconfig-common: #113310

Just seen that *you* created it ;)

This bug is fixed with dbconfig-common 1.8.34 version. Need to wait for release as feisty backport package or for gutsy where this package is already available.
