[Seth Arnold]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer is trying to force me to agree eula

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When i try to install packages via "sudo apt-get install" (and perhaps
  from synaptic as well), ttf-mscorefonts-installer appears as
  dependency, and it tries to force me to agree Microsoft’s EULA.

  The fact is that i don’t agree with whatever licensing coming from
  Microsoft, which blocks any further upgrade, because apt gets blocked
  with the message "cannot configure (current status `half-installed')"

  I think it is crucially important having the possibility of not
  agreeing with Microsoft’s EULA licensing - it’s quite annoying have to
  create a dummy package for replacing that
