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
Thanks for the manual removal instructions, DDS, Dmitry (and all those

of Hey I'm new to Ubuntu -- boy don't these repositories full of

I can report the same problem and second the motion to have this package
removed so that it is not a nuisance.
Thanks.

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
Oh, and you should probably add the statement
exit 0
as one of the first statements to /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mathematica4.1.postinst
Otherwise you will get an error message every time you update or install
something.
(And remember that messing around with the package database is done at your
As an option, you can download the fonts from the Wolfram site and then
almost follow the instructions to make the package removable:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
unzip path/to/MathFonts_TrueType_41.exe
defoma-font register-all
thanks a lot.

As Gianluca Pettinello underlined, it is easy to create the fonts for
removal, you do not even need to use a real one, but simply touch them:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
cd /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
touch math1b__.ttf math2b__.ttf math3b__.ttf math4b__.ttf math1mb__.ttf

I second that motion. It's not needed to run Mathematica version 6.0.1
and up.

Just wanted to comment that this just bit me in intrepid. Can you maybe
completely remove the package from the repositories (at least for now)
so that people like me don't come along and try to install it?

This is fixed in Jaunty. if you want to pursue a fix in Intrepid please
read and follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

uninstall the package not to install it since wolfram.com has removed
the font.

I have had the same problem and reported the bug (before knowing such
bug already here). Thank you for your detailed removal method and I'd
manually clear them to prevent clogging system up.

I found a solution to uninstall ttf-mathematica:
- create the folder /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-mathml
- create inside the 16 fonts: math1b__.ttf math2b__.ttf math3b__.ttf
math4b__.ttf math1mb__.ttf math2mb__.ttf math3mb__.ttf math4mb__.ttf
math1m__.ttf math2m__.ttf math3m__.ttf
Thanks for the remove instructions David.

TYVM for the manual removal instructions. I downloaded the .tgz and
added the fonts manually, but couldn't figure out how to remove the
half-installed package.
God bless you DDS.

This is affecting me too. Until it is fixed, here is the workaround:
sudo rm -fv /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mathematica*
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all ttf-mathematica4.1
sudo apt-get remove -f
Then install the font manually if desired.

There is an updated Debian package that allows the package to be un-
installed. Recommend this get pushed through ASAP to fix the core
horkage (i.e. that the package is unremovable if an external dependency
(i.e. the mathematica site) breaks.

So wolfram changed the download link to the mathfonts package. the bad
thing is that it doesn't roll back the changes or anything, just leaves
it in a state that you can't remove it and you can't actually get it to
install either.
I can't find it for download on the wolfram website but i did
