    msttcorefonts can't be removed

    I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu 8.04 to 10.04.

    I have a problem with my synaptic manager. I can't seem to install anything because msttcorefonts doesn't seem to have been installed properly and I can't remove it. Everytime I update or install I get the error:

    Code:
    E: msttcorefonts: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
    Please help me remove the package. Not even re-install works.

    Synaptic tries to remove the package first before installing whatever I have selected to install. Now I can't install anything.

    Post the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/msttcorefonts.postinst file here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Hello,
    may be that this is not the best practice but this helped me to resolve many problems:
    How i can see, the first fatal error is:
    "andale32.exe: No such file or directory".
    I would try to deceive dpkg creating that file with:
    touch andale32.exe
    in the correct folder. You can go to Synaptic and see in properties of package msttcorefont where should be this.

    I hope this help you
    Regards

    msfonts

    How did you try to do this?

    Were you trying to install "ubuntu-restricted-extras"?

    ok, sorry, now i see the problem...
    1) W: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Verdana.ttf: not registered.
    [...]
    dpkg: error processing msttcorefonts (--remove)

    you have this files in your system?
    if not, could you try to create them with touch.

    2) have you try to force dpkg to remove this package?
    dpkg --force-all -r msttcorefonts
    and dpkg --configure -a

    you have this files in your system?
    if not, could you try to create them with touch.

    2) have you try to force dpkg to remove this package?
    dpkg --force-all -r msttcorefonts
    and dpkg --configure -a
    Code:

    I would try to deceive dpkg creating that file with:
    touch andale32.exe
    in the correct folder. You can go to Synaptic and see in properties of package msttcorefont where should be this.

    I hope this help you
    Regards
    It seems dpkg needs to download "andale32.exe" before it can remove the "msttcorefont" and the network proxy that I am using doesn't allow us to download .exe files. How cn I get around not trying to download this file.
