Unable to install percona server in Debian Stretch kernel 4.14.13-1

Niltze [Hello]-

Using Reieser4 OS on root file system successfully installed as seen in Installation Reports log:
[url]https://metztli.it/blog/index.php/amatl/reiser-nahui/successful-metztli-reiser4-sfrn-4[/url]

I have debian instances with lower kernel versions in the cloud with similar setup running MariaDB.

Linux cipactli 4.14.0-3+reiser4.0.2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1+reiser4.0.2 (2018-01-15) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I am just setting up a dedicated server for development. I have already installed from Debian repositories Apache2, PHP, etc.
however, unable to install MariaDB 10.2 nor 10.3 I decided to try Percona especially since MariaDB server was unable to install and when forced, /var/log/syslog showed an error:

hence after downloading Percona bundle for AMD64:
As root, this is the latest variation in my attempt to install Percona:

I install one package first:
