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

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.
