Bottom line: How to proceed after getting the fonts installed. And now, the main message:
YIPEEE!!!!! KUDOS, GRACIAS and assorted hazzahs in all possible languages to IMAD. My taking the --dns-timeout option out the the wget command in line 148 of this file, /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst the final lines of the output of that command: dpkg-reconfigure -plow --force ttf-mscorefonts-installer are now: All done, no errors. All fonts downloaded and installed. Updating fontconfig cache for /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts No CIDSupplement specified for Dotum-Regular, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for Batang-Regular, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for Batang-Bold, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for Dotum-Bold, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for ZenHei, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for ZenHei-CNS, defaulting to 0. No CIDSupplement specified for UMingCN, defaulting to 0. Now that this has succeeded, how do I proceed? The upgrade had failed at this point and failed to clean up. What do we do now? Locate the arcane script that does the cleanup and run that with sudo? Start the System Update app again, hoping it realize where it left off and continue? HELP!! please. Thanks much and more kudos to imad.
