I've been asked for a password during installation of mtop 0.6.6-1.2 in Hardy.
However, entering a wrong password there still makes the install fail and leaves the package in a broken state ("dpkg-reconfigure mtop" failed with "mtop is broken or not fully installed").

Workaround: purge the package and reinstall it.
