Actually what the package does is that it tries to download (and then install fonts from) http://support.wolfram.com/mathematica/systems/windows/general/file/MathFonts_TrueType_41.exe
This fails because the link is broken at support.wolfram.com: The server now redirects to http://support.wolfram.com/ (Did the package maintainers discuss (before contributing this package to the Ubuntu repository) with support.wolfram.com whether including this kind of package in the Ubuntu universe repository would be ok with them, and whether they would continue to make the package available at that URL?) -- package ttf-mathematica4.1 4 failed to install: post-installation script terminated abnormally with an exit value of 1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307607 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
