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

[Paulo Silva]

The problem happens when you don’t agree with the eula license, you get
totally stuck there.

There should be a way to be totally free on not agreeing with that
license, free to block that package, and free to uninstall it. None of
these possibilities exists now, and this is why it needs to be fixed.

It’s totally nonsense and crazy being forced to agree an obscure license
just for bypassing this issue.

Seriously asking, please review the actual status and importance.

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

Status in msttcorefonts package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

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
