Hello all, this vps has new freshly installed Debian 7 OS.

Thanks in advance.
3 gb. Previously I install on this same vps with Debian 7 but no problem with mysql. For some reason I got this problem after I reinstall. Maybe updated debian 7 image I think, not the same with previous debian 7.
I did not had this problem with debian 7 yet. It seems somehow as if the base debian image is broken as apt is not able to initialze the frontent to query you for the mysql password. please try: apt-get install dialog and then run: apt-get install --reinstall postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-mysql dovecot-sieve sudo
I got mysql root password dialog window. I keyin my password but still error. After that I ran Code: apt-get install --reinstall postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server openssl getmail4 rkhunter binutils dovecot-imapd dovecot-pop3d dovecot-mysql dovecot-sieve sudo but still error?

OK so I try to google certain error keyword such as this : Code: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.5.postinst: line 146: logger: command not found https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=cr&e....5.postinst+line+146+logger+command+not+found Interesting enough I found same errors on Debian and Ubuntu OS starting from July. This guy had the same problem as me : http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=116202 but unfortunately he leaves me hanging. So scrolling further down I found a Russian article https://translate.google.com/transl...eshenie-oshibki-logger-command-not-found.html with the same error code: I translate it to English and use the solution: and mysql problem is solved. Apparently Code: apt-get install bsdutils is essential for Debian but missing from my freshly installed OS. Thanks everyone and Till
Worked for me! This finally resolved the same issue for me! VPS bare-bones install was missing bsdutils. Thanks!
