I must admit I am having a hard time debugging my builds even if I get past the debootstrap stage. The output in log.txt ends in:

I: Base system installed successfully.

which I assume is a positive sign, but then I don't get any update for a long time (I assume elbe is trying to execute the <finetuning> section and then install the packages in the <pkg-list> during that time) and finally I get:

commiting changes failed
Build failed !!!

Failed to commit the AptCache changes.
Most likely is, that packages failed to download.
Probable cause might be:
- Problems with Internet Connection
- Broken mirrors

Is there a way to increase verbosity for finetuning and installing stages? Or how could I otherwise check what went wrong? - I used 'elbe initvm --keep-files submit' to be able to inspect the project's directory in the intitvm but it only contains log.txt, source.xml and chroot directory.

Thanks,
Lukasz
