Problem solved:
I examined the /var/lib/dpkg/info/freenx.postinst script, and I found
out that /usr/sbin/nxsetup failed because it expected an /etc/shadow
file, while this system (based on a colinux image) was still using
/etc/passwd. After running pwconv I could install the freenx package
successfully.
 
Greetings,
