[Bug 1772438] Re: Selecting Restricted Extras from Budgie welcome screen -> Updates & Extras fails to install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package
I think this bug report was a mistake. I realize now that the ubuntu-
restricted-extras includes ttf-mscorefonts-installer by default. I
believe that the syntax I thought was a bug:
apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ttf-mscorefonts-installer-
Actually means "install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package but don't
install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package which would ordinarily be
installed".
So I think it's safe to close this bug, although I'm not sure why the
Ubuntu Budgie team would specifically include the MS core TTF fonts?

Title:
Selecting Restricted Extras from Budgie welcome screen -> Updates &
Extras fails to install "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" package
Status in Ubuntu Budgie:
Invalid
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Version: Ubuntu Budgie 18.04
After a fresh install, I noticed that when opting to install
"Restricted Extras" from the "Getting Started -> Updates and Extras"
tool that the Budgie Welcome application attempts to install two
packages:
1. ubuntu-restricted-extras
2. ttf-mscorefonts-installer
I determined this by looking at the /var/log/apt/history.log
Start-Date: 2018-05-17 22:21:07
Commandline: apt install --allow-unauthenticated -y ubuntu-restricted-extras ttf-mscorefonts-installer-
Requested-By: robert (1000)
Install: unrar:amd64 (1:5.5.8-1, automatic), libavcodec-extra:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2, automatic), libvo-amrwbenc0:amd64 (0.1.3-1, automatic), libavcodec-extra57:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2, automatic), ubuntu-restricted-extras:amd64 (66)
Remove: libavcodec57:amd64 (7:3.4.2-2)
End-Date: 2018-05-17 22:21:10
I believe there might be a typo for the second package. It's recorded
as "ttf-mscorefonts-installer-" in the history.log, when the actual
package name is "ttf-mscorefonts-installer" (without the hyphen at the
end). The end result after selecting this option from the Budgie
Welcome application is that the MS ttf fonts are NOT installed.
To fix this, I manually install the MS ttf fonts by doing this:
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
And the MS ttf installed fine without any issues.
