This points to an FC2 repository...

this indicates some dependency problem in the packages (e.g. circular
deps, insufficient Requires(pre) annotations). So, 'libtermcap' (with
libtermcap.so.2) will be installed after the packages which are using
it in their %post scriptlets.

%pre of coreutils failed so its installation will be skipped...

... and tools like 'touch' and 'chmod' are missing

'apt-rpm' is nearly dead and I am not aware of apt repositories
for recent Fedora distributions. You could create your own repo
and test whether is works (things above look like packaging
errors which might be fixed in the meantime).

Or you could try 'yum', but it is unconfigurable and makes stupid
assumptions without providing ways to turn them off so it is
difficultly to use in chroot environments. So you have to apply a
patch to make it work properly.
