[Bug 1222654] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to install/upgrade

[Margarita Manterola]

** Summary changed:

- package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade
+ package ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to install/upgrade

** Description changed:

- Similar to all the others.  This stupid message occurs with every
- install of any app and every update, causing the process to error out.
- Canonical MUST FIX THIS THING before it makes me crazy.  Find some
- public domain equivalents for those fonts.  This erro showed up after I
- installed wine and had a hitch somehow, UBUNTU 13.04, then tried to
- install something else.  I looked and found numerous remedies, but none
- of them worked, and now I have forgotten WHAT I tried.    If I have to
- put up with this, I might as well go back to (Grrrr) Windows.  DO I
- really need to say I FULLY EXPECT NO ERROR MESSAGE and I FULLY EXPECT
- that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer will complete without error and
- without harassing me with a STUPID license agreement?  If I need the
- fonts for wine, OF COURSE I ACCEPT IT.  So it should just alert me that
- I must abide by the agreement.  Nobody reads the damned thing anyway.  I
- certainly don't.
+ There are many bugs which are very similar, although the exact details
+ of version and error message might change, in the end they all boil down
+ to ttf-mscorefonts-installer being in a broken state from which it's
+ hard to recover.
  
- We really need a way to forcibly REINSTALL and ACCEPT THE LICENSE
- agreement (assuming that's the problem).  How shall I do that?
