The problem seems to be that the wget command used is timing out too quickly. The command used is:
wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 --read- timeout=300 $QUIET_ARG --directory-prefix . --no-directories --no- background $URLROOT$ff When I tried to download any of the links from the error output with a simple wget command it always worked. My system currently has some issues with slow name resolution so I've added the server it was repeatedly timing out on to my /etc/hosts file: 216.34.181.59 downloads.sourceforge.net 212.219.56.167 kent.dl.sourceforge.net After that the package installed properly -- package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
