It does not install apps. It only donwloads a set of packages,
checkouts some CVS tools and performs some small operations, like
symbolic links creation.

It's probably because FreeType--2.2.1--i686.tar.bz2 was not correctly
packed. I've just commited a small change, that forces
'chrootcompileMode=gobo', which works better when packing packages.
Anyway, the error above should lead to a program exit (fix needed).

Another tip:
By default, SetupChrootEnv fetches only a basic set of packages. In
order to get a more complete set of packages, you can call
'SetupChrootEnv --complete' (or '-c'). This fetches all packages
currently being used at 013 (~560MB).
