The POSTINST message suggest to launch "mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/${PVR}/sqlscripts/mysql/${PVR}_create.sql" to create pmadb user, grant database access, create the pmadb database and so on. The problem is that ${PVR}_create.sql script is a little outdated: for example it's missing the PMA_designer_coords table creation (see designer_coords parameter in http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/) and some collations are not the same as in last official PhpMyAdmin SQL table creation scripts. So please merge /usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/${PVR}/sqlscripts/mysql/${PVR}_create.sql with the contents of the official /usr/share/webapps/phpmyadmin/2.10.0.2/htdocs/scripts/create_tables_mysql_4_1_2+.sql Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
i've dropped this completely, as upstream kept complaining that we patch the default config.
