Steps: grab base.tgz from potato setup resolv.conf and sources.list for potato chroot in apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential (due to a bug in apt, you have to isntall dpkg-dev first) apt-get install strace (you won't get the chance later) apt-get install libncurses5-dev libreadline4-dev libssl09-dev libzvt-dev ... ... segfault
dpkg appears to die during the dpkg --unpack of the 30 some packages at once. I could not figure out how to get strace to give me the entire command line so I could try to run dpkg by hand. This dies for me every time I try it.
