[Tfug] Ubuntu noninteractive aptitude mysql install

[Chad Woolley]

Haven't followed this list in a while, but maybe you guys can help me.

When scripting an aptitude install of mysql on ubuntu, how can I avoid
blocking at aptitude's interactive root password prompt?

I tried this, but it doesn't work on when I run it on a clean EC2 image:

Maddeningly, it works fine when I immediately do the same thing again.

Thanks,
