Unfortunately, that error test fires in three places. None of which I've been
able to cause.

I did:

   sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/31
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade

Also:

   sudo apt purge mythtv-common libmythtv-perl php-mythtv
   sudo apt install mythtv

Do you have any other details about what you did?

 From the root SQL user, please paste the output of:

   SELECT User,Host,plugin,authentication_string FROM user WHERE User='mythtv';

(you can scribble the authentication_string if you like.)
