I am not the OP, but I ran the above command on my backend (after
installing debconf-utils), and I was unable to connect to the database
with those credentials. (For these reasons I can safely post them here):
mythtv-database mythtv/mysql_admin_password password
mythtv-database mythtv/mysql_admin_user string debian-sys-maint
mythtv-database mythtv/public_bind boolean true
So this looks like a bug to me: clearly some package picked those
defaults but did not also create the corresponding permissions in mysql.
In case this is relevant: the machine on which my backend runs is the
second-one that I use for this purpose. I migrated to it using the
method described on the wiki:
