Package: ttf-mscorefonts-installer Version: 3.3 Severity: important Wondering why the installation of mscorefonts was taking too long I checked the details and found that none of the fonts could be retrieved from any of the URLs listed in ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst.
The installer will go through all 12 URLs for each font file which means a very long wait as the files are not retrievable from any of them. The first URL http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/ resolves to http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/ but the files are now located at http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/ As a test I prepended the above URL into the installer's postinst file and re-ran it (blah.postinst config) and it fetched and installed the fonts. Also I tried copying and pasting the various URLs with different paths appended to see if any of them would bring up a list of the font exe files. Didn't work as they all resolved to the first sourceforge.net URL mentioned above. Methinks the postinst file may have to be changed to use the single URL that works. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer depends on: ii cabextract 1.3-1 a program to extract Microsoft Cab ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36.1 Debian configuration management sy ii defoma 0.11.11 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii wget 1.12-2.1 retrieves files from the web ii xfonts-utils 1:7.5+2 X Window System font utility progr Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer recommends: ii ttf-liberation 1.05.2.20091019-4squeeze1 Fonts with the same metrics as Tim ii x-ttcidfont-co 32 TrueType and CID fonts configurati ttf-mscorefonts-installer suggests no packages. -- debconf information: msttcorefonts/dlurl: msttcorefonts/savedir: msttcorefonts/http_proxy: http://192.168.0.1:3128/ msttcorefonts/baddldir: msttcorefonts/dldir: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
