Binary package hint: apport

Hi, apport made two bug reports instead of one. Therefore I file this duplicate as an apport bug. Note only one crash report was made. See attachment.

Thanks for your report.

From you log file there is "Resolving internap.dl.sourceforge.net... failed" It seems to be a dns lookup failure. Not an msttcorefonts issue.

Is it still an issue for you ?

Thanks.

Hi Jean-Babtiste,

I still get warnings after package upgrades are installed that
msttcorefonts upgrade failed. Maybe that has something to do
"un-orthodox" set-up I have. I am running Ubuntu on top of VMware in my
XP-machine. I haven't been too worried because in other respects
upgrades work.

Thank you of your response.

Pekka

Sorry for my late reply. Pekka, could you please reproduce the error and attach the file /var/log/apt/term.log (you need superuser privileges in order to read that file) Thanks in advance.

[Pekka Repo (pekkaj-repo)]

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

The error happens quite often. Here's a log which should have multiple
instances of the incident. Hope this helps.

Regards, Pekka

Thank you. This is a known bug with wrong proxy settings being enabled by /something/ .
The workaround is to manually correct your proxy settings in the menu "System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy"
