@Alex, your problem is not the same. You don't get a 403-Forbidden like Amrath-raj.
In your case this is bug 431217. Could you please try the following workaround and tell if it helps. Open a terminal and run $ gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst Search for 'wget' (without the quotes) It should be line 148. Remove the options: --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 --read-timeout=300 Save the file Then run : sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst configure Please tell us if it helps in order to produce a patch. Thanks. -- package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.0 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
