Installing mysql-server on 4.4.35-bone14

[ferdster]

I used this guide to make the sd card:

https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/BeagleBone+Black

When I try to 'apt-get install mysql-server' two errors come up.

1. 

debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog

debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 76.)

debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline

This one seems ok as it simply doesn't show the nice setup GUI.

2.

df: unrecognized option '--portability'

BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-9+deb8u1) multi-call binary.

Usage: df [-Pkmhai] [-B SIZE] [FILESYSTEM]...

Print filesystem usage statistics

        -P      POSIX output format

        -k      1024-byte blocks (default)

        -m      1M-byte blocks

        -h      Human readable (e.g. 1K 243M 2G)

        -a      Show all filesystems

        -i      Inodes

        -B SIZE Blocksize

ERROR: There's not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-server-5.5_5.5.53-0+deb8u1_armhf.deb (--unpack):

 subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

This one causes the whole install to fail because it can't check the amount of free space. I think I need to update df from coreutils, which I tried, but it still didn't support the --portability flag. I most likely did not update df correctly.

Thanks.

You installed the very small rootfs, this relies on BusyBox for a few
commands, i've now nuked the df link:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/omap-image-builder/commit/93bbf0939302a0db6dfaa71caf5c61a161d66101

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/df

and it now should install fine..

Thanks. I ended up deleting a bunch of others (logger, find, readlink, egrep, grep, cp). But I now have mysql, lighttpd, and php installed.
