Thanks to both of you, that worked perfectly. My phone is fully operational
again and all my personal data preserved.

As described in the comment I added to the bug description just a few minutes
ago, I tinkered with the system in some ways to get a working debian chroot. But
I did not receive a warning of any kind while doing so. If running apt-get broke
the update, an appropriate warning should be issued when the user tries to
execute that command, IMHO. I will add an appropriate bug if I can find none so
that the developers can decide whether that's a good suggestion or not.

Cheers,
Torsten
