I can confirm this behaviour. I also did a recent install of Ubuntu from an alternative 7.04 cd and upon doing updates after booting into Ubuntu, found ttf-opensymbol failing to install and blocking the other packages. It seems that the fc-cache utility was complaining about not being able to write to the cache directories.
I haven't tried the suggested work around but will do so tonight. Need to confirm if this is specific to the alternative cd install only or is the same for all the standard install methods since a lot of people could be affected by this. -- Package ttf-opensymbol fails to update through update manager on default 7.04 install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136769 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
