Hi vince,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I have been unable to reproduce this, and i'm trying to think of a cause for this.

Can i confirm:
When you try and and do this upgrade, you are connected to the internet?
If you browse to http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe that the font is prompted for download?

I'm wondering if either you are not connected to the internet, or have a proxy that isn't being supported.

Thanks

Hi Dave,

the computer was connected to the internet. i could download other
packages and install them. the only problem was that the mscorefonts
installer could not reach te server (what a saw in the terminal). The
installation tried serveral times to contect to te sourceforge server.
After a few minutes it stopped en started the installation of other
packages. Thisproblem happens every time i intsalled a application of
(1) partial upgrade. For now i removed 9.10 from my computer so i cant
reproduce it again. i wil install it again, if i have problems i will
let you know.

Best regards,

Vincent

I've the same problem and I'm connected to internet.

Could it be just that at sourceforge they changed the address?

[Per-Inge (per-inge-hallin)]

wget will not find some addresses like, http://downloads.sourceforge.net, http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net.
In the end the installation terminates with errorcode 1.
