[Bug 1437764] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work from Ubuntu Software Center because of EULA

[Sb]

I'm adding the Ubuntu Software Center too, because this EULA bug
effectively breaks the Software Center.  It makes the Software Center
freeze, and later after logging out and back in to a new Unity session
the update manager starts producing messages about broken packages.

It should be noted that this is one of the most commonly installed 3rd
party packages, and even more so given the fact that it is a requirement
of ubuntu-restricted-extras which practically everyone uses. As a
result, the ubuntu-restricted-extras packages is also not installable
via the Software Center.

It would be nice to fix this before the release of 15.04, else we'll be
seeing a lot of negative reviews about broken Software Center etc.

Bug description:
  Hello, on Vivid 15.04 Beta 2, the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer
  installs from the Ubuntu Software Center but doesn't actually download
  and install the proprietary fonts. The reason appears to be that the
  package requires first agreeing to an EULA before downloading the
  fonts, and apparently the Software Center can't handle that. Please
  make the Software Center pop up a GUI to accept the EULA.
