[Bug 921889] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Barry Martin]

Hi!

Possibly not that much help but the problem I was having was while
installing WINE the system was waiting for me to acknowledge the EULA
for MSFonts -- something close -- sorry.  The problem was the
acknowledgement window was behind the installation window, so it
appeared the system was just sitting there.  I finally closed the
installation window after about an hour (over the years I have learned
not to be in too much of a rush with installs, but an hour...) -- close
the installation window and then I see the EULA window the installation
window was waiting for.

My automated bug post report probably could have been avoided if the
EULA window was able to been seen rather than 'hiding'.

(Good news: acknowledging the EULA and re-opening Ubuntu Software Centre
to finish the installation of WINE did work.)
