Eh? Perhaps that is something done for a source-based install? It 
definitely isn't done by an rpm install... Sorta goes against the 
official documentation also, which still says you have to use "mysql -u 
root < mc.sql" to populate the database initially...

I know that database *updates* when upgrading to 0.12 are done 
automatically.

For someone installing from 0.12 rpms, it should simply be a matter of:

	$ mysql -u root [-p] < /usr/share/doc/mythtv-0.12/database/metadata.sql

Just tried a bare-metal install myself, and the above works fine. If 
you're getting a message about the database already being populated, 
I'm inclined to think you're not doing a completely fresh install...
