adding dpkg --force-all to all dpkg commands makes it go eventualy go

I can run it with sh -x, and save output to file (bzipped or gzipped),

This looks like the well-known deficiency in debootstrap that the target
directory must be empty before you start. It's not a grave bug; just 'rm
-rf /chroot && mkdir /chroot' and try again.

Also, I don't see the dependency problems you mention in your subject
line.

Cheers,

Well, it didn't help. Reasony why I did that second time on not empty
dir is because first attempt failed. so...
