package ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6 failed to install/upgrade: le sous-processus post-installation script a retourné une erreur de sortie d'état 1

I also have encountered this bug. This was on a clean install, not upgrade, of the final release of Jaunty 9.04 Kubuntu. The file system is the default Ext3. The machine is a Dell Inspiron 530 with 4Gig of RAM and an active internet connection via ethernet.

This may be a duplicate of bug 274421, which is on the list of bugs related to mscorefonts. In my attempted download, see previous message, there was the error 'ERROR -1: Malformed status line. --2009-04-26 13:56:47-- http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/andale32.exe Resolving mesh.dl.sourceforge.net...'. This seems to be a common factor with 274421. I have uninstalled mscorefonts as the system was continually attempting to do the upgrade and it was affecting other upgrades. Hopefully, with the triaged fix for 274421, this problem will be resolved.

I found that when I re-installed (clean) everything worked well. I just cleaned my CD before reinstallation.

Status in “msttcorefonts” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: msttcorefonts

Upon upgrading from Ubunto 8.10 to 9.04 snapshot 5, ttf-mscorefonts-installer (2.6) failed. This made me panic of course, a message said something about the distribution being possibly inoperative since the dist upgrade had encountered a mistake.

Could it be just because the dist upgrade rendered my internet connection temporarily inoperative, and thus the ttf-mscorefonts-installer could not download the fonts? When I reran apt-get for something else later (after rebooting), it displayed the following:
          Traitement des actions différées (« triggers ») pour « man-db »...
          Paramétrage de ttf-mscorefonts-installer (2.6) ...
And it successfully carried on to downloading the fonts. Not a major thing obviously, but not a very elegant thing...

A me pasa lo mismo, creo que es porque tengo instalado WINE, he hecho un upgrade de 9.04 a 9.10,pero despues de leer los otros coemtarios e intentar, ami me funcionó.
>sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.postinst
añadir dentro de comillas en URLROOTS
"... ftp://77.88.19.68/gentoo-distfiles/distfiles/"
(Pues de este sitio pude bajar inicialmente andale32.exe)
Luego en la ventana de comandos
>sudo dpkg --configure -a
Listo!!!

Ahora yo tengo otro problema. Despues de algun tiempo minimo el equipo que suspendido y no reacciona ni con el mouse ni con el teclado, el boton de encendido parece que hace funcionar, pero la pantalla no reacciona, asi me veo obligado en reiniciar el equipo con el boton reset o bien apagando manualmente con el boton on. Alguien me puede dar la solución? hasta he cambiado las opciones de energia a NUNCA, pero sigue así. para un ahorro de energia esta bien pero en un laboratorio o sala de internet NO.

je viens de passer de 9.04 à 9.10 et le bug s'est produit lors de l'installation de WINE.

this is a duplicate of bug 431217 in my humble opinion and should be merged with it. any objections?

Danke. Please do.
