Hi, modify /etc/apt/sources.list to use testing and everything should update fine. Right now DSL has one foot in stable and one foot in testing, which could make for some difficulty when using apt. The reason? Mostly gtk1.2 vs. gtk2.

Hi,I am having the exact same problem as above. gcc will install, but make will not. It is complaining about not being able to install fileutils. I tried modifying the sources.list filend commented out the first line (stable) and uncommented the next two (testing). I still had no joy so tried to run dpkg-restore. now when I try "apt-get install make" I get: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree.. Done Package make has no avaliable version, but exists in the database. This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or in not avaliable with the contents of sources.list E: Package make has no installation candidate Hopefully someone can help me with this? It is really important to be able to use make and gcc! Thanks in advance, - Richard Posted by Grim on April 03 2004,05:08
It's a problem with the busybox version of tar. Check < this thread > toward the bottom of the page, right before cbagger gives me a hard time.

And it should be pointed out that with 0.6.2+ the hard drive install has an option not to use busbox. And starting with the next release GNU tar will replace the busybox tar applet.

So I downloaded damnsmall 6.3, did the hdinstall-- enhanced-- and dpkg restore. Changed to testing, did dselect update. went apt-get install make gcc, done. got a w3m tar.gz, untarred it, looked good. ran ./configure, got "cpp fails sanity check" . did entire procedure twice. I must compile this thing,debian package has emacs keymapping and zile, I want lynx and vi...Any ideas? Posted by woverin on April 17 2004,21:34
i ran into the same problem as dlh222222. ( cpp fails sanity check)I installed dsl 6.3 hdinstall (enhanced) changed sources.list to testing I tried to compile ettercap NG_0.7.0_pre1

When you do the sources.list change, make sure you do apt-get update first, so that it gets the fresh lists from the Testing server. Then again, you're all probably non-n00bs who already knew that, unlike me, who didn't the first few times...

Hi,I am having a similar problem with installing the routines required to be able to 'make' applications. I have changed the 'sources.list' file to use the 'testing' method and re-run 'apt-get update' When I try to install the necessary for make I get: boot@box:/etc/apt# apt-get install make gcc Reading Package Lists...

When I did make gcc after changing the list source to testing and immediately doing an update to get the proper list, the install completed and was gcc version 3.3. So 2.95 doesn't look right...

Hi,Several posts here mention changing from'stable' to 'testing' in the 'sources.list'. I noticed that the 'apt.conf' file contains an entry setting the default to 'stable'. Should this line also be changed? Regards, Geoff. Posted by Grim on May 05 2004,17:41
The apt.conf file is in reference to apt-pinning. Read < this document > for more information about apt-pinning.
