Do you have access to the /var/log/installer/syslog that was generated on the installed system? (It will be called /target/var/log/installer/syslog if accessed from the debian-installer itself.) If so, $ less /var/log/installer/syslog /base-passwd or $ grep -A5 base-passwd /var/log/installer/syslog might give you an idea of what happened. Note that lines like these: dpkg: base-passwd: dependency problems, but configuring anyway as you requested: base-passwd depends on libc6 (>= 2.34); however: Package libc6 is not installed. dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 24 package 'dpkg': are plenteous and normal.
