And before I forget... yes, I did do a dpkg-restore before trying apt-get in the first place.

annelions, it sounds like your sources.list file is corrupted. Here's just what the line should look like;
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
Then run 'apt-get update', and try again. For now, all other lines should be commented out (begin with a #)

If it still doesn't work, possibly a corrupted install?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm getting the same error messages. None of the above suggestions worked.

Make sure you read Del's last post carefully, the word "stable" has been replaced with "testing" and don't forget to do an "apt-get restore" after changing your /etc/apt/sources.list file. It does work.

Well, this problem has come back for me again, I don't remember if I had this problem in 0.6, but I am in 0.6.1

I change the source in /etc/spt/sources.list to deb:
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main non-free contrib
I then run 'sudo apt-get update'
I then run 'sudo apt-get install make'
and get the following output:

Code Sample

konnat@box:/etc/apt$ sudo apt-get install make
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
make

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

any help would be appreciated
