[Bug 464422] Re: package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to install/upgrade

[MeMySelf]

Adding extra time for *dns-timeout* worked for me as well, how ever I get
the same messages as Jacob below.
I also noticed this for all fonts:

*All done, no errors.
webdin32.exe: OK
webdin32.exe: library not compiled to support large files.
Extracting cabinet: webdin32.exe
  extracting fontinst.exe
  extracting Webdings.TTF
  extracting fontinst.inf
  extracting Licen.TXT
