[Bug 1173431] [NEW] package ttf-mscorefonts-installer usurps console window, returned error exit status 128

[grahame pratt]

Public bug reported:

This has happened twice.
the MS-installer turns the console into a GUI with an inaccessible EULA [OK] at the bottom. The only thing I can do (mouse or KB) is to close the window, which aborts the installation.
