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 -- Regression bug: can't preseed download location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Tieto, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~tieto Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~tieto More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
