Hi Riccardo,

This script compares the old method of chroot creation with the new method.
So when you got the output ""Create click chroot" I suspect it is trying to
create the chroot the old way which would mean it has to download 1.7 GB of
data. I agree that the verbose output of the script can be improved, but
this script is after all just temporary. I just let it run and came back to
a full output shown in http://paste.ubuntu.com/10504918/.

But yeah it could be very well that you were unlucky.
