Hi everyone,
There is a fairly major bug relating to the msttcorefonts package. It
requires agreeing to an EULA, which apparently is not noticed by the
Ubuntu Software Center. This makes the Software Center freeze, and later
after logging out and back in to a new Unity session the update manager
starts producing messages about broken packages.
It should be noted that this is one of the most commonly installed 3rd
party packages, and even more so given the fact that it is a requirement
of ubuntu-restricted-extras which practically everyone uses. As a
result, the ubuntu-restricted-extras packages is also not installable
via the Software Center.
There are a lot of bug reports about this issue here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts?field.searchtext=eula&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package=
It would be nice to fix this before the release of 15.04, else we'll be
seeing a lot of negative reviews about broken Software Center etc.
