Did you switch your "/" file system to "rw" mode prior to apt-get?
The default is "ro" and that could explain the error.

Yes, I have also taken the Ubuntu route and installed it on a flash
disk (for thin client Proof of Concept).  However, make sure it does
not create a swap partition on your Flash drive.   IIRC, with Ubuntu
/var/log/messages is also "rw" this could shorten the life of your
compact flash.
Whereas in VL it is on a tmpfs - so there is no wear and tear on the flash disk.
