Hi,

I carefully followed all the instructions in the 'Damn Small Apt Walkthrough' posted by Grim in the 'How To' forum section.

Then I tried: apt-get install make, as root

But I got the following error(s):

Get:1 http//ftp.us.debian.org testing/main make 3.80-7 [429kB]
Fetched 429kB in 22s (19.1kB/s)
dpkg-deb (subprocess): failed to exec tar: Permission denied
dpkg-deb: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/make_3.80-7_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/make_3.80-7_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any suggestions for how to get past this error??

Regards,

Geoff.

Ditto, I get this:
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/bin/chgrp', which is also in package coreutils
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Cirvin, I got exactly the same error as you, after investigating options with dpkg I did:

cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
(where apt-get stores all the files it downloads)

dpkg --force-overwrite -i fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb
(forcing dpkg to overwrite chgrp even though it's part of coreutils)

I did this... ooh, ten minutes ago and it seems to be working ok, but who knows! :)

Disclaimer: I have only a very vague idea of what i'm doing...
Edit: Make that no idea - this advice could be completely wrong

Thanks, that has been frustrating me for a couple of days.
