Hi. I was having this problem before I updated to "update-notifier -
0.119ubuntu7", but it seems like the problem is still there for me even after
the update. I just installed yesterday Ubuntu Server 12.04 beta 2 64 bit +
kubuntu-desktop on top of it. Got the same message window "packages requested
additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be
downloaded" for ttf-mscorefonts-installer and also flashplugin-installer when
trying to install kubuntu-restricted-extras from the Muon Package Manager.
When I press "Run this action now" in the message window, a bash shell opens up
with the following lines:
Warning: Could not find 'gksudo', starting '/bin/bash' instead. Please
check your profile settings.

The "Run this action now" button is grayed out after that, and the
message window stays there until I press "Close" in it. Ttf and Flash
are not installed after that. Reinstall from Muon repeates this message.
Here are some lines from /var/log/apt/term.log related to ttf and flash
plugin:

-----------------
I use a direct access to the Internet, no proxies.
So, is it still Bug #979477, or similar Bug #977178 , or maybe something new?
Any ideas on how I should proceed with the installation?
