I fixed the locale problem Within the chroot, I did this: [orca:/]# export LC_CTYPE=C [orca:/]# export LC_MESSAGES=C [orca:/]# export LC_ALL=C [orca:/]# dpkg-reconfigure locales (for the 5th time!) Generating locales (this might take a while)... en_US.ISO-8859-1... done en_US.ISO-8859-15... done en_US.UTF-8... done Generation complete.
No more locale error messages. I tried a purge of mysql and then a clean install, and it still fails in the configuration process and won't start.
