Setup: Clean install of DSL2.0 to HD with 1GB swap on hda1 and 512MB memory and 5GB space on hda2.

apt-get install make fails due to dependency on fileutils trying to overwrite /usr/bin/chgrp which is part of coreutils.

So, I went and got the source for make and it says it can be compiled using build.sh, however, there was not a build.sh script in the package.

How do I get around the conflicting dependency issue?

Well, to reply to my own post...

I went and got the latest debian make package and just used  dpkg -i <filename> to install it.  

I guess this is where the automated tools can do a lot for you but if you cannot rely on them too much.
