No doubt lilo hasn't been successfully configured yet, and apt-get will
just try to configure everything that needs it in an effort to keep the
system consistent.
The best thing for you to do is probably to edit the post-installation
script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/lilo.postinst in the chroot) and comment out
any bits that fail, then run 'dpkg --configure lilo' to try it again.
