If dpkg -i fails for some reason (if the maintainer scripts depend on util-linux already being installed, for example), then you can unpack it by hand within the chroot: ar x /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.20.1-5.2_amd64.deb data.tar.gz tar xfvz data.tar.gz and then immediately install it with dpkg so that its database is correct: dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/util-linux_2.20.1-5.2_amd64.deb Regards, Roger -- .''`.
