Package: msttcorefonts
Version: 2.4
Severity: normal
With the current version of the package:
- The user is not asked about whether or not s/he wants to download the
font files from the Internet right now;
- The user is not given a way to supply the font files cached locally.
When installing the package on many machines in a LAN, the fonts will be
each time downloaded from the Internet, and there's no clear way to
avoid that;
- There is no clear way to uninstall the half-installed package without
letting it to download the fonts.
The "apt-get remove" operation tries to download them, and from the user
point of view there is no way to avoid that.
The install and remove operation logs are pasted below.
