Hi,

I am having problems getting 2.5.4 to install on Linux Mint 17.1 using
the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Firebird2.5

The installation starts ok, prompts for SYSDBA password, but then shows
the following:

# sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-super
........

Looking at the SYSDBA.password file, this hasn't been updated. Running
'dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.5-super' or 'gsec' to set the password
results in the same error.
I have previously installed 2.5.3 onto the same OS (different machine)
using the same instructions and that worked perfectly.
