[Bug 1222654] [NEW] package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade

[bobhurt]

Public bug reported:

Similar to all the others.  This stupid message occurs with every
install of any app and every update, causing the process to error out.
Canonical MUST FIX THIS THING before it makes me crazy.  Find some
public domain equivalents for those fonts.  This erro showed up after I
installed wine and had a hitch somehow, UBUNTU 13.04, then tried to
install something else.  I looked and found numerous remedies, but none
of them worked, and now I have forgotten WHAT I tried.    If I have to
put up with this, I might as well go back to (Grrrr) Windows.  DO I
really need to say I FULLY EXPECT NO ERROR MESSAGE and I FULLY EXPECT
that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer will complete without error and
without harassing me with a STUPID license agreement?  If I need the
fonts for wine, OF COURSE I ACCEPT IT.  So it should just alert me that
I must abide by the agreement.  Nobody reads the damned thing anyway.  I
certainly don't.

We really need a way to forcibly REINSTALL and ACCEPT THE LICENSE
agreement (assuming that's the problem).  How shall I do that?
