It seems to me to be self-evident that a buggy package should be fixed or removed from the repository, once it's been identified as buggy. Thanks for the removal instructions. I was trying to install this package because I'd read a little about Wikipedia offering the option of displaying mathematics via MathML, which sounded useful, so I tried to install the relevant fonts. There are alternatives -- in fact, MathML support is listed as experimental -- so it's not a necessity. -- dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for the manual removal instructions, DDS, Dmitry (and all those in-between) -- was hit with this bug in Intrepid, during an acute case of Hey I'm new to Ubuntu -- boy don't these repositories full of software remind me like Christmas morning, click click click...-Disorder. In what's probably an over-zealous urge to contribute (without really knowing the best method for doing so), here's my me, too post re: removing the font package from the repository. In the midst of migrating from other linux distros (and other package managers, eg, yum/rpm), I found apt-get/aptitude (et al) relatively straightforward and intuitive until I ran into this repetitive bug/error that, until now, I haven't been able to correct. Like I said, there's probably a mechanism by which one votes on stuff like this, saying Hey that bugfix worked for me, or My firstborn to DDS, in gratitude, (etc) but I can't find it to save my life...and it seems like using the fix (without saying a word) would be poor form, as well. So what I suppose this post *should* have said was Ignore this post, new Ubuntu user coming through, trying to be helpful and potentially failing -- but hey, he's a nice guy so let's not be too hard on him... :) -- dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems, the manual solutions listed above work fine. For me, Maybe, it is better to remove the package from the repository? Is it necessary to repackage the fonts? I did not encounter a need of them. For me I used sudo rm -fv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mathematica* sudo dpkg --purge --force-all ttf-mathematica4.1 sudo apt-get remove -f without a manual installation of the fonts after their removal. -- dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299427 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
