When trying to install kolab with setup-kolab , MySQL configuration fails when the MySQL kolab password contains character ':
MySQL kolab password [MoV1J_JeMLt7Mom]: Confirm MySQL kolab password: ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '!,r' at line 1
The https://kb.kolab.org/2023/03/configure-kolab-with-setup-kolab/ entry does not state any restrictions regarding password characters.
This issue seems to be related to T5608.
