Bug Description
Binary package hint: msttcorefonts
After a fresh clean 8.04 install, I've installed additional packages, and - by the way - removed the NetworkManager, which probably shut down eth0 instantly.
This bug-report has been initiated automagically. From my 'Applying Changes' terminal I guess-read, that msttcorefonts behaved correct. I suspect, that the gnome applet with the two linked terminals caused the crash (it's now gone, and I don't miss it).
My system is still stable, I just had to configure eth0 manually before clicking on 'report this bug'. I report it, because I expect
- Deinstallation of NetworkManager should leave active network connections intact.
- If this is not feasible, there should be only the 'not all succeded' note from synaptic.
I rebort this bug to msttcorefonts, because this was suggested by apport, and I assume, that you first want to check, that the installer can handle an unexpected network problem gracefully.
Here is the synaptic terminal output (unrelated packages have been snipped for brevity):
debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
debconf: (Dialog frontend will not work on a dumb terminal, an emacs shell buffer, or without a controlling terminal.)
debconf: falling back to frontend: Readline

Configuring msttcorefonts
-------
msttcorefonts uses defoma
Msttcorefonts uses the DEbian FOnt MAnager (defoma). If you wish to use the
fonts provided by this package under the X Window System, you must configure it
to use defoma fonts.
The easiest way to do so is to use the x-ttcidfont-conf package. For more
information, install the x-ttcidfont-conf package and consult its documentation
under /usr/share/
For uses of msttcorefonts not related to the X Window System (e.g. printing)
this is not required.

Since the installer can by definition do nothing else than download the components from the network, it's expected that it fails when it doesn't get a network connection. I therefore think this should be reassigned to NetworkManager.
