Error from log:

Unpacking mysql-server-5.1 (from .../mysql-server-5.1_5.1.54-1ubuntu4_amd64.deb) ...
Unknown terminal: eterm-color
Check the TERM environment variable.
Also make sure that the terminal is defined in the terminfo database.
Alternatively, set the TERMCAP environment variable to the desired
termcap entry.
debconf: whiptail output the above errors, giving up!
