Error code 1 when trying to get 'make' package in DSL


Hi

Im just starting out with linux, but as i only have a 600mHz computer to install it onto, i am using Damn Small Linux (installed to HD).

I found that i need to do a 'make' command everytime i want to install a program, but it seems it does not exist in my system.

So i try to get the package via Synaptic, but it comes up with an error reading:
Quote:
"Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
If i try
Code:
apt-get -f install
from the console it says:
Quote:
root@box:~# apt-get -f install make
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
fileutils
The following NEW packages will be installed:
fileutils make
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1097kB of archives. After unpacking 2773kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
(Reading database ... 11018 files and directories currently installed.)
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
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)
root@box:~# dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)

Thanks a lot in advance!

Obviously, the packages are broken. Why don't you use debian proper? 600MHz machine is perfectly OK for debian.
