I have created a 32 bit chroot (Debian Lenny) on my 64 bit Debian Squeeze machine. I am having a problem installing mysql into this chroot, as well as a problem with locales. 1. I have run dpk-reconfigure locales, answered all the questions but I still get locale warnings: perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. 2. MySQL fails the configuration, but there are no error messages to say what is failing: Starting MySQL database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing mysql-server-5.0 (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mysql-server: mysql-server depends on mysql-server-5.0; however: Package mysql-server-5.0 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing mysql-server (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: mysql-server-5.0 mysql-server I have mounted /proc and /dev/pts to the chroot. Am I missing anything else? I can't seem to find a good mysql chroot example on the web - many of them work by installing mysql and then moving it to the chroot (won't for for me as I have a 64 bit system) or compiling from source. i could do that, but I was hoping not to have to. Thanks! Mark
