Hi,

When a quotation mark (") is used in the root password, the postinst fails:

    Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.75-1) ...
    ERROR: 1064  You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the
    manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
    syntax to use near 'st") WHERE user='root'' at line 1

Ansgar
