Hmm...

According to these guys, this is only a warning message and not an error as long as you highlight the OK button and press the ENTER key.

Maybe you have some other dpkg error.

In fact, I just installed binutils from the command line, IE:

sudo su
apt-get install binutils

and I acknowledged the warning and it finished without a dpkg error code message.

Maybe if you type:

sudo su
apt-get --fix-broken install binutils

and see what happens.

Yeah you're right there is another error I was getting in addition to that having to do with a dependency of make:
Code Sample
Unpacking fileutils (from .../fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb) ...
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

So the binutils error is really just kinda a warning message then?

Any thoughts on how to get around this other error, by the way? Deleting /bin/chgrp didn't seem to work for me, and doing apt-get remove coreutils doesn't seem like the right thing to do either.

Give:

sudo su
dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/fileutils_4.1-10_i386.deb


a try.
