Unfortunately those log reflect exactly what was on the console. I do 
not understand how the database could have an incorrect admin 
username/password. Since this is Ubuntu, I use sudo for database 
commands when needed from the console, but mostly it's Mythtv FE/BE that 
use the database.  MySQL Workbench that I setup long ago still works and 
I can view and modify parameters if needed.

Could it be that way back in Ubuntu 16.04 I setup mythtv with a admin 
username and password that is not needed now but can generate an error.

Bottom line is everything appears to be working from an operation point 
of view. It's just this error during apt upgrade of mythtv.
