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

[Paulo Silva]

for my surprise, after 2 years, this problem persists... i really wonder
why... :(

do anyone know how can we create an empty .deb named ttf-mscorefonts-
installer in a kind of "infinite" version? (so we wouldn’t be disturbed
with that crap again) - the .deb from version still works, but it is
painfully slow to install...

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
