[Bug 1369043] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[stormhike]

Just to add something although I don't have the problem now.  When using
the Ubuntu Software Center to install the "Ubuntu Restricted Extras"
package it appeared to hang so I waited then quit.  Then I saw the
dialog asking me to confirm the EULA, the only option was to continue,
which ended up in an error.  The real problem being that the EULA dialog
was behind the Software Center window all the time, bit confusing.
