Ubuntu noninteractive aptitude mysql install

Hi,

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

I tried the following, 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,
-- Chad
