crashes error about the update.. nothing helps, even synaptic, in the end, you can make a distro without updates...With the previous version Mint had no such problems.

We are unsure if your intention is to just leave a comment, or to request our help to solve this issue?

Even Customizer is no longer active in development, we can at least provide you a workaround (whenever possible). Without any useful information, we cannot do anything for you.

If you want a help to solve this issue, please follow our submission guide.

I myself did not understand seek help or is it just a comment.
But I would like to overcome this problem.
I add Linux Mint 17 ISO in the program. Open a terminal.
Write there the command: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.
And at what stage is broken something and it does not improve.
Used to make the distribution of LinuxMint16 and no problems arose. For that thank you very much.

i'm not test with LinuxMint17, but have same problem with Ubuntu 14.04... (with host Ubuntu 12.10)
anyway this is not problem with customizer, but with libpam-systemd package, universal workaround is holt this package for update...

in chroot before you run apt-get upgrade run this:
apt-mark hold libpam-systemd

and after apt-get upgrade finish unhold back with this before rebuild iso:
apt-mark unhold libpam-systemd

if you plane use customized iso with preseeding installation, is also need hold kernel packages,
without this is break in first stage of pressed in setting language, maybe only with non-english settings as for me, or maybe is this already fixed in some of updates in Ubuntu 14.04/LinuxMint 17, i customized iso before some weeks..

hold before upgrade:
apt-mark hold linux-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-24 linux-headers-3.13.0-24-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-generic

unhold after upgrade:
apt-mark unhold linux-generic linux-headers-3.13.0-24 linux-headers-3.13.0-24-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-24-generic linux-image-generic

@k3dar same problem with ubuntu 14.04 32bit for me. solved with hold libpam-systemd befor upgrading but i made an experiment :) i tried to upgrade the same iso with ubuntu-builder without holding nothing and the process works fine and end fine...the problem seems to appear only with customizer (4.1 and 3.2.3 too)

It's a packaging issue:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd-services (= 204-5ubuntu20) but 204-5ubuntu20.5 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

@fluxer but in your opinion why upgrading with ubuntu-builder there are not problems to do apt-get upgrade? using the same iso naturally...

Gambas2 is not even available for Ubuntu 14.04 release so there is no
way to test it but looking at the code I better not comment on it.

as bad as this change can be, if /sbin/init is diverted upgrading
packages that rely on initctl fail (e.g. systemd-services). On the
other hand if initctl is not diverted host services may be affected
from the chroot (upstart uses D-Bus, and access to it is granted
for the nested X-session). Upstart has a container feature but I'm
afraid to tell it that it is in container as it uses file in /run
and /var/run (symlink to /run) is bind mounted for the nested
X-session too. In any case, do not blame me when your host starts
to behave strange after upgrading chroot.
