[Bug 431217] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[squiddy]

none of any solution mentioned satisfy me here :(

but i managed to download the fonts using a combined solution, using
post #21,

sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst

then replace all codings in it with this

#!/bin/bash

#Version: 1.0
#Info: Bash script to install mscorefonts without using
#currently broken ttf-mscorefonts-installer (3.0) for
#Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala (date: 03/11/09)
