Currently it is not working. It does not finish booting, and it gets stuck at a certain point. The scrolling lines indicate DEPEND problem and failing to start network manager and some other issues, that I have not been able to write down.

Hi
And I see that elsewhere you have mentioned btrfs.
When I hear about a Debian system that is running from a USB
flash memory stick, I do not expect high performance from that
system, due to the slow response of the USB flash memory
compared to an internal hard drive.
If you want to run a Debian system from a USB flash memory
stick, then I suggest to keep it as simple as possible and not
install software that requires a reasonably responsive internal
hard drive.
If you want to run btrfs, apache, virtualbox, docker, etc then I
suggest to work on a Debian system that is installed
on an internal hard drive.
