When I remove mythtv it tells me this:

The MythTV database was not removed. To remove it, run:
mysql -u root -e 'drop database mythconverg;'

Running that command fails with a slightly cryptic message if mysqld isn't running:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")

I think it would be good to tell the user to start mysqld if necessary.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  personally I think this is something you should be aware of when you use this software, I'll just remove the attempt to remove the database
