Debian: Error with 3.1 setup-kolab and mysql setup

[Karma Kolabor]

Hi,

I am trying to install Kolab from these sources:

deb http://obs.kolabsys.com:82/Kolab:/3.1/Debian_7.0/ ./
deb http://obs.kolabsys.com:82/Kolab:/3.1:/Updates/Debian_7.0/ ./


setup-kolab fails after the mysql password dialog, I get these errors:

ERROR 1005 (HY000) at line 9: Can't create table
'roundcube.kolab_alarms' (errno: 150)
ERROR 1146 (42S02) at line 175: Table 'roundcube.system' doesn't exist

and some long python traceback that essentially boils down to

OperationalError: (OperationalError) unable to open database file None None


for reference I put the whole traceback on bottom of this post.

This looks like the mysql password is not accepted. I tried several
variations. setup-kolab asks at one point for mysql passwords and
gives two options, preconifgured mysql and new setup - I do not
understand this, as debconf already setup the mysql password before,
but no matter what I try I always get the error described above. I
tried to give no password at debconf mysql dialog because I had the
suspicion that setup-kolab expects an empty root password at option 2
(New MySQL server), tried more complex passwords, tried everything
else that seemed possible but no success. setup-kolab always fails at
this point.

Any solution?

Here is the whole python trace:
