[Bug 1283746] Re: Should be able to cancel installation by rejecting EULA
When you reject the license, the fonts are not installed. The installer is free software, the EULA applies to the fonts that are downloaded from an external site, not to the installer package. I agree that the text could be improved to make this clearer to everyone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283746 Title: Should be able to cancel installation by rejecting EULA To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1283746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1283746] Re: Should be able to cancel installation by rejecting EULA
There is a good discussion of this at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/425085/did-i-accept-the-tts-mscorefonts- installer-eula/425105 + because the package `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` is included in other meta packages (or can be), the error should make it clear what package will be affected by this EULA + It isn't clear what This software refers to in the error message. It appears, based on behavior that this software means the fonts in the TrueType Core Fonts for the Web package. Not the `ttf-mscorefonts-installer` package. + The installation of this program will be cancelled is similarly cryptic. + I didn't have the opportunity to actively decline, I simply did not accept. Saying I declined suggests that I managed to so something. A more clear message might be this: You did not accept TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA If you do not agree to the TrueType Core Fonts for the Web EULA license terms, ttf-mscorefonts-installer cannot install these fonts. This installer package has been installed, but installation of the TrueType Core Fonts for the Web will be cancelled. Note that there's also a typo in the form of an extra space in `for the Web EULA ` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283746 Title: Should be able to cancel installation by rejecting EULA To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1283746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
