Well, better leave out the force-depends.

You also need a workaround for the --root. I will assume the the
newroot is on /mnt/newroot:

mkdir /mnt/newroot/mnt
ln -s / /mnt/newroot/mnt/newroot

Now dpkg --root=/mnt/newroot should work.

Take the patches from the bug system and compile one. That worked for
me.

Also take a look at
ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/Linux/linux-pmac/debian/mklinuxfs.tgz

Thats actually a base.tgz for Debian. You can use that as a base
before updating to slink. That way you have all the needed files and
devices and so. That together with what is in slink/base should be a
bootable/useable system (I only used it via changeroot so far, which
works). With my 2.0.32 kernel I have chown problems, but you might not 
have them with a different kernel or with the current glibc.

May the Source be with you.

PS: Can anyone point me to some powerpc kernel source? Whats the main
site for them?
