I have Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (xenial) and ttf-mscorefonts-installer (3.4+nmu1ubuntu2). More than FOUR years have passed and this bug is still not fixed. And it is even worse now: This version does not work any longer with the hard- wired download URLs (which are forwarded to other URLs): E: Failed to fetch https://vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the fonts/final/andale32.exe 404 Not Found -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022891 Title: Regression bug: can't preseed download location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1022891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, it's been almost a year and this bug is still present.

[Bug 1022891] Re: Regression bug: can't preseed download location
Thanks for your patch! Unfortunately, it cannot be included in Ubuntu for the following reasons: * it ships a new postinst.in which is used to update postinst via a sed in debian/rules. This is messy and postinst should be adjusted directly with no changes to debian/rules or the additional file. * the file postinst.in intends to update /usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer via some brittle regular expressions and sed calls (fyi, you might be interested in 'sed -i' for future scripting). A better solution is to simply adjust update-ms-fonts to honor URLOVERRIDE Unsubscribing ubuntu-sponsors for now. Please feel free to update and mark this bug back to 'NEW' and resubscribing ubuntu-sponsors after updating the patch.

Even after the patch, there's a race condition if both update-notifier-common and ttf-mscorefonts-installer are installed in the same apt run. This can be resolved by moving update-modifier-common from "Depends" to "Pre-Depends" in debian/control. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022891 Title: Regression bug: can't preseed download location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1022891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attachment "complete patch for the issue" of this bug report has been identified as being a patch in the form of a debdiff. The ubuntu- sponsors team has been subscribed to the bug report so that they can review and hopefully sponsor the debdiff. In the event that this is in fact not a patch you can resolve this situation by removing the tag 'patch' from the bug report and editing the attachment so that it is not flagged as a patch. Additionally, if you are member of the ubuntu- sponsors team please also unsubscribe the team from this bug report. [This is an automated message performed by a Launchpad user owned by Brian Murray.

Ooops, the patch in above comment did contain two lines of debugging that should really not be in there. Attached is a complete patch for the issue. It should be ready to apply with "patch -p1" from the source dir. Don't forget to remove the now-generated debian/postinst from the patched source and to add the correct signature to debian/changelog!
