Bug Description

debconf 1.5.40ubuntu1, Ubuntu 11.10

I'm not sure whether this is a problem with debconf, or with the commercial drumpads package.

1. In Ubuntu Software Center, buy Drum Pads.
2. When the "Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer" Debconf prompt appears, click "Forward" without checking the checkbox.

What happens: The Debconf window displays an error message: "If you do not agree to the 'TrueType core fonts for the Web EULA ' license terms you cannot install the software. The installation of this package will be canceled."

What should happen: That should have been explained before you had the chance to click "Forward".

The questions and ordering of them are controlled by the source package which in this case is msttcorefonts so I am reassigning the bug there.

This doesn't actually cancel the installation of the purchased software, it only cancels the installation of the msttcorefonts fonts. Agree that this is a bug, though.
