Bug Description
I was upgrading Ubuntu from hardy to jaunty via intrepid, so I can't remember if this happened during hardy to intrepid or intrepid to hardy. The system was originally installed as dapper and had been upgraded directly to hardy.
The graphical system upgrader asked the user to create a new password for mysql server.
This kind of thing shouldn't happen. The system had always been in desktop use. The only non-default software installed were KMail, Flash Plug-in, Skype and additional fonts. MySQL server had never been installed explicitly.
* Even if some component used MySQL server behind the scenes, the user shouldn't have to deal with setting up the server.
* More to the point, the user shouldn't have to know what MySQL server is.
* The user shouldn't have to create additional passwords.
* The upgrade process shouldn't block on user input unnecessarily.
