Package: ttf-mscorefonts-installer Version: 2.7 Severity: normal
The way the package tries to get the fonts isn't very clever. If the first (two or three, it seems) mirrors fail, the remaining mirrors are not tried. This has, in my case, happend consistently for several days, preventing the installation of all fonts for the same time. Whenever a new attempt at configuring the package (and thus downloading the fonts) is made, a new temp directory is used, so the old downloads aren't reused. To work around the failing mirrors, I had to download the files themselves, then halt the package during the downloading phase, and figure out where to put the downloaded files. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer depends on: ii cabextract 1.2-3 a program to extract Microsoft Cab ii debconf 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii defoma 0.11.10-0.2 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii wget 1.11.4-2 retrieves files from the web ii xfonts-utils 1:7.4+1 X Window System font utility progr Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer recommends: ii ttf-liberation 1.04.93-1 Free fonts with the same metrics a ii x-ttcidfont-conf 31 TrueType and CID fonts configurati ttf-mscorefonts-installer suggests no packages. -- debconf information: msttcorefonts/http_proxy: msttcorefonts/dlurl: msttcorefonts/savedir: msttcorefonts/baddldir: msttcorefonts/dldir: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
