Unable to do the initial migrations with django-2.1.3 and "mysql 5.5.62-0+deb8u1 (Debian)"

Hi there,

I am trying to bootstrap a project with mysql and django with the versions described in the subject line.

The app works fine if I just do a "runserver" and ignore the migration warning but when I apply the migrations I am getting the stacktrace you can see in the linked file.

I have seen similar stuff in SO like this but none of the solutions have worked.

I would highly appreciate any piece of documentation to guide me further. Of course, do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Periklis
