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

[ABCC]

The problem seems to be that the wget command used is timing out too
quickly. The command used is:

wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 --read-
timeout=300 $QUIET_ARG --directory-prefix . --no-directories --no-
background $URLROOT$ff


When I tried to download any of the links from the error output with a simple wget command it always worked. My system currently has some issues with slow name resolution so I've added the server it was repeatedly timing out on to my /etc/hosts file:

216.34.181.59  downloads.sourceforge.net
212.219.56.167  kent.dl.sourceforge.net


After that the package installed properly
