Binary package hint: drupal6

The problem seemed to be related to my entering of passwords - I probably misunderstood the prompts - which I found confusing in terms of whether I was re-entering the MySQL password, or generating several new ones.

Drupal 6 - from Synaptic Package Manager for Ubuntu - 6.16-1

I was hoping for a successful installation - which didn't happen
