Package: msttcorefonts ; Version: 2.4 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. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #461926 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461926 ** Also affects: msttcorefonts (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=461926 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: msttcorefonts (Ubuntu) Status: Won't Fix => Confirmed -- msttcorefonts installs non-free fonts automatically and doesn't ask if user agrees with license https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/84453 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
