无法下载额外的数据文件 - ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Question

这是一个值得修正的老问题，但现在它已不再是一个笑话，我似乎无法解决它。

我不断收到与以下相关的可怕failed To download extra data files错误ttf-mscorefonts-installer：

反复要求它再试一次也无济于事，另外，反复尝试——

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/*
sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

也不行。我只是从停止它工作的 sourceforge 链接之一收到至少一个 404 错误-

它无法下载的具体点发生了变化 - 这似乎是一个 sourceforge 可靠性问题，但现在这种情况已经持续了数周，并且总是导致烦人的弹出窗口。

我们如何解决这个问题和/或我现在如何解决它。

Answer 1

Launchpad 错误#1607535 #1651923已在 Apt for Xenial 和 Yakkety 的“更新”存储库中修复。

1. 如果您使用的是 Ubuntu Xenial 或更高版本 (16.04+)，请确保启用“更新”存储库并更新存储库信息和您的软件包：

   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade -f
   

   这告诉 Apt

   • 升级所有可以被新版本轻松替换的软件包，以及
   • 尝试修复过程中所有不一致的包 ( -f)。

2. 如果修复版本不适用于您的 Ubuntu 版本，您可以下载ttf-mscorefonts-installer没有此错误的 Debian 版本，并使用软件中心或命令行安装它。

Answer 2

遇到了同样的问题，在网上找到了对我有用的解决方案，其他“解决方案”不起作用：

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
