[Bug 1222654] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to install/upgrade, left in a half configured state

[Ba8ry]

The problem I had was that ttf-fonts-installer DID install and the fonts
were usable but notwithstanding this I continued to get the warning
"Data files for some packages could not be downloaded" from Update
Information - KDE Daemon.

I tried a removal and reinstall via Synaptic that did not fix the
problem.

Margarita Manterola's <marga at google.com> suggestion of a full purge and
reinstall appears to have worked.

I am running Kubuntu 14.04.01

Title:
  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to install/upgrade, left in a
  half configured state

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are many bugs which are very similar, although the exact details
  of version and error message might change, in the end they all boil
  down to ttf-mscorefonts-installer being in a broken state from which
  it's hard to recover.

  ttf-mscorefonts-installer needs to be made more reliable so that a
  failure to accept the license doesn't cause a very-hard-to-recover-
  from situation.
