Heavens this is an awfully old "bug".  Why don't you go to launchpad.net,
and search for "Dynamic MMap ran out of room" - or even google it?

All it means is that you have added _a lot_ of sources to
your /etc/apt/sources.list, and now apt doesn't have enough memory
available to process all the dependencies.  It's just a matter of adding
some value in a file in /etc/apt/conf.d/
