Everything spools by so fast it is hard to catch exactly. But it was during the install of edubuntu-desktop, and the first time I saw the error was when it tried to install acpid. After the first error with acpid then there is a handful of dependency problems with other apps that can't install. However after the edubuntu-desktop install failed on those few apps, a simple remount of /sys, then re-run apt-get install edubuntu-desktop, and the failing apps installed just fine. So after creating the chroot I was able to jump right to a complete install of edubuntu-desktop, then remount /sys after the errors, re-run the edubuntu-desktop install which completed without errors, and all was well. No need for -f option or dpkg --configure stuff. All went very smooth. I did also copy over my sources.list from the main server for installing other apps later. So today I'll test booting desktops and installing additional software.
