Bug Description

Hi,
I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10. I tried to install Compiz Config Settings Manage using Terminal and failed.
I then attempted using Software center and failed and got an "Unhandleable Error" (which suggested that I report to Launchpad - (and as I was recently helped (big time) by the generous people at Launchpad, I decided to go through and send the details of this report:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 779, in simulate
    return self._simulate_helper(trans, status_path)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 958, in _simulate_helper
    return depends, status, self._cache.required_download, \
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 218, in required_download
    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)
SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

Looking at the report more closely: I should ad that just before this occurred I was trying to install " libdvdcss2 package from medibuntu repositories " from code I'd found on a 'Tech drive-in' blog. (the code was:
"sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update
sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 ")
After I entered the code I got a strange page (within the terminal) asking me to "(ok)" some kind of terms and conditions (associated with something to do with Windoz fonts??) ... and I didn't ok it - (I couldn't figure out how to anyway).
Sorry if this is too much info.
(Still can't get 'Compiz Config Settings Manager' (Ubuntu 10.10 - on this old T42 :)
Thank you in anticipation.
Tony

I fould a fix: I checked history in terminal - and saw a a { install ttf-mscorefonts-installer } that I hadn't clicked "(ok)" and so I hit tab and clicked ok (on the blue screen) and then clicked enter (to confirm the ok) and that solved the problem.
