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

[Martin G Miller]

Actually, this bug has existed since 14.04.  It is still present today
in 16.04.  Sometimes the EULA appears in a window underneath the
software center, sometimes it doesn't.  Sometimes the ubuntu-restricted-
extras package won't even show up in software center.  My workaround
since 14.04 has been to install synaptic package manager and then
install the restricted extras package from there.  That works as
expected every time.

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer doesn't work from Ubuntu Software Center
  because of EULA, breaks APT

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
