Truetype fonts fail during wine install

Asked by Alan Sanderson

Hello All:

I installed Ubuntu last night than installed WINE. I accidentally clicked (don't agree) on eula, so the truetype fonts did not install. I attempted to uninstall and re install it a number of times, but the error stating I did not accept the eula would pop up without giving me the opportunity to accept the EILA. Any help would be appreciated.

Using the latest version of Ubuntu and Wine.

Alan

Hello Marco:

This is the result: I am still a novus (1 day of Ubuntu use).

alan@ubuntu:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure wine
[sudo] password for alan:
Package `wine' is not installed and no info is available.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: wine is not installed
alan@ubuntu:~$ ^C
alan@ubuntu:~$

Please help. the Ubuntu software center shows it as installed.

Tried again using sudo dpkg-reconfigure wine1.3 and than uninstalled than reinstalled. I got the same error.

If you do not agree to the "TrueType core fonts for the Web EULA " license terms you cannot install this software.

The installation of this package will be canceled.

Ubuntu doesn't have a registry. That is a Windows construct.

try:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

You use TAB and ENTER to accept the license.

If you run:

ps -ef | grep -i 'dpkg|apt'

What is output?
