Hmmm. I thought the package script was looking for your configured l/p and missing it but reviewing the deb file's postinst script I see it first tries a mysql root login to test if mythconverg even exists.

Could it be that your mysql root password has changed since the last time you upgraded mythtv-database? I'm not sure how the script gets that password but it seems to keep it in a text db somewhere.

Failing that I'm out of guesses.
