[Bug 299427] Re: dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install)

[Adam B Butler]

Thanks for the manual removal instructions, DDS, Dmitry (and all those
in-between) -- was hit with this bug in Intrepid, during an acute case
of "Hey I'm new to Ubuntu -- boy don't these repositories full of
software remind me like Christmas morning, click click
click..."-Disorder.

In what's probably an over-zealous urge to contribute (without really
knowing the best method for doing so), here's my "me, too" post re:
removing the font package from the repository.   In the midst of
migrating from other linux distros (and other package managers, eg,
yum/rpm), I found apt-get/aptitude (et al) relatively straightforward
and intuitive until I ran into this repetitive bug/error that, until
now, I haven't been able to correct.

Like I said, there's probably a mechanism by which one votes on stuff
like this, saying "Hey that bugfix worked for me," or "My firstborn to
DDS, in gratitude," (etc) but I can't find it to save my life...and it
seems like using the fix (without saying a word) would be poor form, as
well.

So what I suppose this post *should* have said was "Ignore this post,
new Ubuntu user coming through, trying to be helpful and potentially
failing -- but hey, he's a nice guy so let's not be too hard on him..."
:)
