I had the same problem with 7.10 msttcorefonts and sourceforge. Seems it was a dns lookup problem in my Ubuntu system. After following these instructions (for edit I used sudo gedit) I downloaded the fonts no problems. : -

I have two of them. After rebooting, this IP's are added to resolv.conf on reboot, and everything works fine. ____________________ -- msttcorefonts failed to install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147253 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
