2009-02-21 11:56:28 Thijs Kinkhorst msttcorefonts: statusexplanation This bug is confirmed by several people, see for example debbug #461926 : From: Roman Mamedov <roman@rm.pp.ru> Subject: Severe problems on machines without (or with expensive) Internet access Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2008 19:22:18 +0500 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.
