Package: msttcorefonts Version: 1.2 Severity: minor With current version of msttcodefonts, /usr/sbin/update-ms-fonts could be easylly called several times in parallel. This just happened for me, with the following (not so unlikely) scenario:
- apt-get install msttcorefonts, - downloading fonts failed, because machine is firewalled, and wgetrc was not yet configured to go through proxy, - so msttcore package was left unconfigured - I then configured proxy and executed update-ms-fonts - that looked natural for me - then I switched to other console and executed apt-get install to install other packages - and then apt-get decided to configure msttcorefonts, and started second instance of update-ms-fonts while first one was still downloading (network connection was not good today so it did not finished yet) I think that update-ms-fonts should have some guard against re-entrancy. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (640, 'proposed-updates'), (640, 'stable'), (620, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (620, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable'), (550, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R (charmap=KOI8-R) Versions of packages msttcorefonts depends on: ii cabextract 1.1-1 a program to extract Microsoft Cab ii debconf 1.4.30.13 Debian configuration management sy ii debianutils 2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii defoma 0.11.8-0.1 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii wget 1.10.2-1 retrieves files from the web ii xutils 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2 X Window System utility programs Versions of packages msttcorefonts recommends: ii x-ttcidfont-conf 17 Configure TrueType and CID fonts f -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
