I am trying to install graphite on my RPi following this tutorial. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-use-graphite-on-an-ubuntu-14-04-server

I am supposed to sync the database with this command sudo graphite-manage syncdb but I get an error because syncdb has been deprecated.

As "syncdb" is not used anymore, I have found online that what I need is "migrate"

I write this command pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo graphite-manage migrate

And I get this return:

For some reason I get the error in the last line, and I don't understand what's wrong.
