[Other TouchPad Development] masterosok:
It seems I am missing some dependencies in order to configure some apps that are needed to start dbus, but I am not sure what I am missing.

Here is the output after running the command you suggested.

I read somewhere that being in chroot will cause some of these packages to fail...however this supposedly resolves that

dpkg-divert --local --rename --add /sbin/initctl

ln -s /bin/true /sbin/initctl

I did this then dpkg --configure -a and now I am no longer getting an errors when I run apt-get update && apt-get -f install however when I try dbus-launch gnome-session I still get a segmentation error.
