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..." :) -- dpkg: error processing ttf-mathematica4.1 (--install) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299427 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
