You were right about apt not having a mirror. In the chroot
/etc/apt/sources.list was empty. So I added a mirror: (this is in the
chroot)

erebus:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
erebus:/# apt-get update
Err http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu testing Release.gpg

W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old
ones used instead.

Moreover, trying to ping any site doesn't seem to work. Also, I can
access http://debian.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/debian outside the chroot.
