Comment 20 for bug 41339

A warning should be popped up during installation if the mysql server is not
accessible during installation. The user will have to run dpkg-reconfigure
mythtv-database in this case. It doesn't automatically pop up because then
during upgrades users would receive errors about mysql passwords not working
(because mysql server is stopped during an upgrade) and are likely to
further muck up things by investigating wrong passwords.
