[Bug 502753] [NEW] package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Flying Kiwi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

When doing an update, the download / install process appears to perform
correctly, BUT, right at the end I get one of the following messages.
It does not appear to be the same message every time, nor does it go
from message to message in succession.

Message 1 - package msttcorefonts 2.5 failed to install/upgrade:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Message 2 - package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to
install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned
error exit status 1

Message 3 - package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to
install/upgrade

Message 4 - package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to
install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned
error exit status 1

It has at times also generated other error messages, but unfortunately I
have not kept copies of them

The error messages do not appear to be generated by a specific package,
but appear to be more related to any package which uses "mscorefonts"

I get told that there has been an error and to click on the "details"
button below for further information, but there is no "details" button
below just a cancel button, (which is greyed out), and an active "OK"
button. Clicking on "OK" closes the upgrade manager and returns me to
the desktop.

I am using Ubuntu 9.10
