Bug#413646: msttcorefonts: Fails to download fonts, works with manual wget
Hi, This happens when installing the package: --12:15:06-- http://surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe = `./andale32.exe' Resolving surfnet.dl.sourceforge.net... failed: Name or service not known. However, when I try to wget the file manually right after that, it works fine: s$ wget http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe --12:23:50-- http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe = `andale32.exe' Resolving cache-venlo.oce.nl... 134.188.4.10 Connecting to cache-venlo.oce.nl|134.188.4.10|:81... connected. (Note that I'm using http_proxy stuff...) That is strange. The msttcorefonts script just calls wget, and wget is supposed to just obey any *_proxy variables that are set. Are you sure that the http_proxy environment variable is actually set in the same context that the package is installed in as that you use to invoke wget? Differences might be that you are running wget as a normal user while the installation process runs as root. Or that you run it through sudo, which I think strips environments variables out.
