[Bug 979477] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

BTW, I should add for completeness that I can verify that removing the
proxy setting allows the download to proceed without incident. How can
we tell this package to download without using the proxy as it used to
(for this non-apt transaction)?

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Recently we see the following when ttf-mscorefonts-installer is
  installed, after accepting licensing terms, a popup appears with the
  following contents:

  The following packages requested additional data downloads after package
   installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be
   processed.
   .
   .
     ttf-mscorefonts-installer
   .
   .
   The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download
   again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

  It happens repeatedly if you do  apt-get install --reinstall ttf-
  mscorefonts-installer.

  Something is wrong in the move of the download from
  /usr/lib/msttcorefonts/update-ms-fonts to wherever it is supposed to
  live now.
