How to over come the password prompts while installing packages

[jayanth_reddy]

Hello,

Hope you are doing safe and well.

While I’m running apt-get install mythtv-database package I’m getting one pop-up screen (as attached)where I need to enter my database password. How can I overcome that using Ansible(yaml script) Attached here.

I have tried this by using debconf module but i’m facing an error with mysql user. Here i’m attaching my YML script and error that i’m facing. Can someone help me on this.

Cheers,
Jayanth
