    Description

      Hello,

      there is no root-password prompt during installation of mariadb-server 10.0.23-2 out of unstable and testing repos of debian for arm systems.

      Even if I set a password manually with:

      mysqladmin -u root password MYPASSWORD

      it will still not work.

      Also configuring the coresponding *my.cnf* file does not help:

      /root/.my.cnf

      [client]
      user=root
      password=MYPASSWORD

      chmod 600 /root/.my.cnf

      This is reproducable. If I install an older MariaDB-Server (10.0.23-0+deb8u1) it will direclty ask for a new root password during installation process.

      The issue affects in my case the installation of a seafile server. This comes during installation of seafile server in combination with mariadb-server:

      What is the password of the mysql root user?
      [ root password ]

      verifying password of user root ...
      Failed to connect to mysql server using user "root" and password "***": Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'
