Setting up base-files (4.0.2-0+interix.1) ...
ln: (share/man, /usr/local/man/man): File exists
dpkg: error processing base-files (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Here is the problem. Apparently they have changed the directory
structure. Or you have already created /usr/local/man, maybe by a
previous installation. Remove or rename the dir /usr/local/man and
retry. There shouldn't be these "dpkg: error ..." messages in
debootstrap.log.
For the "apt-get -f install" problem: What $PATH do you have when
issuing it? It should include /usr/sbin and /sbin.
You might want to modify /etc/profile.lcl for a permanent change.
The thing is /usr/local/man is now a system file, not a directory, appareantly. However, deleting this file was one step to fix it.
I had to run su first, then export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin and then it worked.
I've not that much experience with UAC systems currently. So your help
would be appreciated.
I reinstalled the SUA SDK and the SuToRoot option is described to be
necessary for UAC, else root can't be impersonated. I guess my
problem was due to this, I had to execute the shell as administrator
per rightclick and then run su to be the real root. Quite confusing,
but I guess this is the only way to get it to work.
I've experienced something else now (after the install succeeded, apt-get update and upgrade -f -V both don't do anything now as supposed),
some packages simply deny the install. I experienced this with x11-common.
It gave me really weird errors (I deleted the logs now, but it was around this way)
-t is not found
-w is not found
80 is not found
dpkg: error processing x11-common (--unpack): [ manual install/unpack with dpkg failed too ]
subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 3
-t is not found
-w is not found
80 is not found
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 3
dpkg failed with exit code (1)
[ this is done out of my memory, could be that some words are not exactly the same, but I guess the error is described ]
I couldn't cleanly do anything then, so to fix it at least it in
some way, I removed the entry of the package out of dpkg manually
and then ran apt-get -f install. This made at least the other
packages to work again. I also noticed that the latest version for
interix is according to the package list
x11-common_7.3+10-0+interix.1_interix-i386.deb, but it tried to
install x11-common_7.3+18-0-all.deb [again I can't tell the exact
file name as of now]
