I guess that should be "Failure while $msg" really.  I now get

Hah, make in_target_msg() do 'echo $*', and it shows

unpacking required packages. This will be attempted 5 times. dpkg --force-depends --unpack /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_2.2.13_ia64.deb ......

So I guess we have a quoting problem somewhere
