Ooops, the patch in above comment did contain two lines of debugging that should really not be in there.
Attached is a complete patch for the issue. It should be ready to apply with "patch -p1" from the source dir. Don't forget to remove the now-generated debian/postinst from the patched source and to add the correct signature to debian/changelog! Hope that helps speed things up... ** Patch added: "complete patch for the issue" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1022891/+attachment/3275247/+files/lp1022891.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Tieto, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022891 Title: Regression bug: can't preseed download location Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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.
