I installed Damn Small Linux (variant of Debian) and for some reason the make command is not installed. I am logged in as root when I do this. I try to run apt-get install make but I get this error:

apt-get install make

The following NEW packages will be installed:

Then when I run apt-get dist-upgrade I get this error:

Any ideas?

P.S.: Moved to the DSL Forum for better exposure.
