Comment 4 for bug 336509

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

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.

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...
