Like it says, you have an incorrect username or password, and yes, it’s important.

You left out how you the l/p is correct but you can verify what dpkg is using by doing this as root:

	debconf-get-selections | grep mythtv-database

Try doing a command line mysql using the debconf username and password and see how that goes. From there either update debconf (using debconf-set-selections) or create/modify your server to match what it wants.

In case this affects you: I’m not sure if Debian allows an empty root password for mysql, it used to be discouraged but now it might be actively blocked.
