To me it seems a pb of DNS time out. I solved the pb with this workaround/dirty patch.
In the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst (coming with package first install), I removed the DNS time out in watchdog line 148 to get > if ! wget --continue --tries=1 --connect-timeout=5 --read-timeout=300 > $QUIET_ARG --directory-prefix . --no-directories --no-background $URLROOT$ff > ; then instead of > if ! wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 > --read-timeout=300 $QUIET_ARG --directory-prefix . --no-directories > --no-background $URLROOT$ff ; then But I can not tell you why it failed with this package and not with others. Does this work hack for others as well? -- Laurent -- package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431217 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
