I did the following:
sudo ltsp-build-client --base /opt/ltsp --chroot lf_i386 --prompt-rootpass

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/lf_i386 mount /proc -t proc proc  

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/lf_i386 mount /sys -t sysfs sys

sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/lf_i386

apt-get install edubuntu-desktop

So the difference here is I didn't run the commands to install edubuntu-desktop from
outside the chroot, could this be the problem?  I'll wipe it out and try from outside. 
I was thinking that by chrooting in I would get more responses from the packages being
installed and hopefully avoid the need to run  with -f and the dpkg --configure a bunch
of times.  

I'll post back the results.
