[Bug 659438] Re: Installation/Removal fails because of package which could not be located (failure in apt.Cache.required_download)

[nithin_aneesh]

The error I am experiencing is something different.  I am sorry for my previous comment. 
The bug I experience is as that if I reject EULA then also the package is marked as installed.

I ran the command  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer and
declined the EULA . I have attached the screenshots. I rerun the command
but I am getting output "ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already the newest
version". But actually it is not installed. It is not taking me to EULA
page to accept it. How to fix this?

1. Output of first run of sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer (declined EULA):
