Thanks for your report.

The provided log file contains no information relevant to the issue your reporting. Could you please try to reproduce the failure and attach the file /var/log/apt/term.log to this report.

Thanks.

I will try to rerein the install and reproduce. It looks like the
url's for downloading the font files from sourceforge have changed.
This may be the cause.

Brian, is it still an issue, you're likely experiencing bug 431217 ?

[Brian (bwhitehd)]

Yes. This does sound like the problem. I reran the ubuntustudio
install from DVD last night on another machine and had the same
problem. I would repeatedly say a step failed and upon retry it also
trys to run the msttcorefonts install again. After a few times it
will finally give up and go on and finish. Unfortunately, I did not
grab the log file before I finally blew it away and installed
something else. I've never run in to this with the installer for the
standard Ubuntu install, only the when trying the Ubuntu Studio spin.
