This was most likely a transisent error or the installation routine was run without net access. Please ensure that your machine is connected to the internet while running this update.

[Hans-Kristian Bruvold (hkbruvold)]

This bug happends to my 64bit Ubuntu Installation too.

[Dave Adelson (davead)]

Happens every time I run the update manager.

[José Ernesto Dávila Pantoja (josernestodavila)]

Happened to me during installation of ubuntu-restricted-extras meta-package

[imackee (iwm)]

I do not know why this bug has been marked as invalid. I have had this error message repeatedly and always with active internet access. This was after a clean install, not upgrade, to Jaunty 9.04 32 bit.

It seems i was having this due to network failure

[gavinlamont (glamont)]

Have this every time I run update manager. Doesn't seem to hinder anything. Have good internet connection.

[Thacker (dg-wynton)]

Can't install moonlight because of this bug have full internet connection albeit a wireless one

[ntos (keysandanswers)]

 yes tried to reinstall mscorefonts no dice failed. this is annoying !

[Liam (bell-liam)]

This happens everytime I run the update manager or sudo apt-get update. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, it is not locking out any other package updates or installations, it's just a very annoying error message that I would like to get rid of!

[RickeyLBuie (sliketymo-deactivatedaccount)]

Same problem happened on a new install of 8.1,and thwen upgrade to 9.04.I have a direct internet connection.I have had problems in recent days of getting the repositories to find a download server.Might be related.

[Kris Gesling (krisgesling)]

the
sudo dpkg -purge msttcorefonts
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

fix worked for me, but apparently it doesn't work for everyone

[btolinux (btolinux)]

when I mark to reinstall at synaptic, this package installs without problem.
I think as well to me now. thanks

Thank you and sorry to reply this late.

I get a message now about dependency problems, so uppose it is related to recent upgrades clashing. I twould be good
to use the MS fonts but I can wait.

Thank you for your suggested lines.

Terminal didn't make sense of all put in together or the first line by itself.
It did nothing with the 2nd.
The next two brought some upgrades and this message twice:
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ttf-mscorefonts-installer
 msttcorefonts
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The error is to do with dependencies clashing.
It would good to have the MS fonts But I can wait as I don't have any idea about a fix.

I tried: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I got this output:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 ttf-mscorefonts-installer
 msttcorefonts
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6

I got this message:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I unistalled and reinstalled in synaptic as per your kind suggestion. I got this message, which I get each time I do
upgrades:

E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: msttcorefonts: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

I assume future upgrades or next distribution will sort it out as I have no idea how to fix it.

Thank you anyway!

I am a new linux based OS user and I am using ubuntu 9.04 desktop edition.
Can anyone help me???

Just ignore the error-message, the installation is still o.k. The "only"
error is the error-message.
