I have installed 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04 in a debootstrap chroot, so that I can install the RuneScape NXT Client in this chroot, and with some luck this could be used to run RuneScape on platforms other than Ubuntu 14.04. But when I ran apt-get install -y runescape-launcher in this chroot I got the error:
debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 76.)

I tried following this answer to a previous question here namely editing /var/lib/dpkg/lock replacing unpacked with installed, then running:
dpkg --configure --pending
apt-get install --reinstall udev initramfs-tools dmsetup libdevmapper1.02.1:amd64 mountall plymouth libcryptsetup4 systemd systemd-services libpam-systemd:amd64 plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text upstart dbus
but it fails, with the first command returning:
