Uh ... I've forgotten something.
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer comes back with this error
message:

I perfectly know that a Microsoft exe is not executable on a linux
system, but I think synaptic is facing the same issue and constantly
rises the error message.

Hi all,
I have question. synaptic packetmanager still repeatedly comes up with
the error message "Failure to download extra data files ...
ttf-mscorefonts-installer ..."
I've already done some google searches and did some removings,
reinstallations, dpkg-reinstallations and -reconfigurations, accepted
the EULA bla bla bla. But none of them solved the issue. After a short
time synaptic still comes up with that error message. I checked the
dependencies and figured out that a lot of other packets need it, so I
think a deinstallation is no valid solution.
That's why I'm now asking the professionals. Do you have any idea what
to do?
Thanks
