Does /var/log/apt/term.log offer any more explanation for why the download has failed here? Is there an apt proxy setting on the affected systems pointed to a proxy that doesn't allow arbitrary file downloads? (Where previously msttcorefonts looked for an $http_proxy env variable, it now uses the apt proxy settings, bringing it in line with flashplugin-installer behavior.)
Previously, msttcorefonts also used a list of fallback download hosts; now it assumes that http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/ will always work, and that if not it's an issue that the user can/should fix up by hand. Is there a problem using this particular download URL, vs. one of the mirrors? ** Changed in: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Langasek (vorlon) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979477 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/979477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
