Public bug reported: For some time already we have been using preseed to specify our local repository containing the Microsoft fonts. The main reason for this is that we have a pretty complicated proxy environment and it's much easier to provide the local repository directly.
So we have used those preseed entries: ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/dlurl string http://@HOSTNAME@@DIRECTORY@/msttcorefonts/ ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula boolean true The postinst script says it all: # FIXME: we don't have a way to use an alternate download source here. db_get msttcorefonts/dlurl URLOVERRIDE=$RET The rules file seems to generate a static URLROOT pointing to http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/ and the URLOVERRIDE is ignored. Our 12.04 workstations have some real issues with that. We have not worked that around yet. ** Affects: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022891 Title: Regression bug: can't preseed download location To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1022891/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
