I had a similar problem because I was using an apt proxy to download the packages. Because of this, the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package wanted to use the apt proxy to download the fonts, but the proxy is Debian- packages-specific, so it couldn't handle the ms fonts downloads, making the installation fail, even when a good working internet connection was available.
I did a: dpkg-reconfigure -plow --force ttf-mscorefonts-installer to remove the proxy from the settings and the package was installed successfully. -- fail to complete upgrade jaunty > karmic ttf-mscorefonts-installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464422 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
