Following Chero's suggestions, I decided to find out the way to upgrade de chrooted debian system in my zaurus.
First I found fentch error messages, and I discovered it was because of a connection problem which was solved, as said in the forum, copying the file from Sharp /etc/resolv.conf to /hdd5/debroot/etc/resolv.conf ( I've got my pocket workstation there).
Second, I have updated the information inside the file
/hdd5/debroot/etc/apt/sources.list
with two servers with ( sarge) arm branch, choosen from the list on Debian site.
Then, after reading information from debian site, I have updated my package list with:
#apt-get update
In this point, I have known that there are another way in order to get files and upgrades, it is called - aptitude -
It is adviced to rely on this method rather than in apt-get, to avoid dependency missmatches and problems.
So, It have to be installed by typing:
#apt-get install aptitude
After that it's adviced to update doc-base, only if this packet exits on the system.
The reason comes from possible problems when installing/updating perl.
# dpkg -l doc-base ( to know if we have the packet installed )
# aptitude install doc-base ( in order to update doc-base)
In case we don't have this packet, this is not necessary.
At this point if we want to upgrade our system we have to enter this whole sentence:
# aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade
I'm now downloading the upgrade throught this method, I hope it really works without problems.
After that I'll try to get OpenOffice.
Since is the first time I've heared about aptitude , and it's recommended in despite of apt-get, which is often mentioned in these threads, I has been impressed, problably because of my lack of knowledge, and I thought that it's worth to be commented.
Sorry about my english.

Well, aptitude works fine upgrading my Debian Pocket Workstation, and also installing other packages as Gpsdrive, mc, etc...
#aptitude install gpsdrive (It's amazing you don't have to put the long filenames)
When trying to download OpenOffice I get error messages. The packet can't be installed. It seems that there are not working port for arm of OO 1.1.X.
Here I've used also apt-get and it had the same behaviour as aptitude.
Seems like they are only thin differences beetween each other.
