[Bug 1507803] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer is trying to force me to agree eula

[Seth Arnold]

I'm surprised you've run into this issue, I can't find anything that
depends upon the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package:

$ apt-rdepends --reverse ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If this is correct you can probably just use apt pinning to forbid it:

The apt pinning is probably easier than using equivs, but that really
should work if something else Depends: upon the MS TTFs.

Thanks

Title:
  ttf-mscorefonts-installer is trying to force me to agree eula

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When i try to install packages via "sudo apt-get install" (and perhaps
  from synaptic as well), ttf-mscorefonts-installer appears as
  dependency, and it tries to force me to agree Microsoft’s EULA.

  The fact is that i don’t agree with whatever licensing coming from
  Microsoft, which blocks any further upgrade, because apt gets blocked
  with the message "cannot configure (current status `half-installed')"

  I think it is crucially important having the possibility of not
  agreeing with Microsoft’s EULA licensing - it’s quite annoying have to
  create a dummy package for replacing that
