[plug] problem with apt-get

[David Buddrige]

Hi all,

I am trying to get msttcorefonts to install properly since it is needed
by a number of the dvd and tv playing software on my system.  However,
for reasons unclear to me the configuration step doesn't seem to be
working correctly.  Below is a transcript of what happens when I attempt
to install msttcorefonts.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get
around this problem?

I have had a numbr of apt-get install's fail with a complaint with the
msttcorefonts package.

thansk heaps gus,

David. 8-)
