Preparing to replace ttf-takao-gothic 003.02.01-2 (using .../ttf-takao-

Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:
---
Taking a gander at the preinst script in the .deb, the relevant "bad function
name" seems to be check_broken_ttf-japanese-gothic()
I downloaded the source, changed the dashes in the function name to
underscores, repackaged, crossed my fingers and successfully installed the
modified package. I would submit a patch, but I don't really know how to use
patch and it's a pretty darn easy fix.
Thanks for all your hard work!
