[Bug 1022891] Re: Regression bug: can't preseed download location
Hi, it's been almost a year and this bug is still present. This is a
serious regression, it would be nice if trusty wouldn't be released with
it.

Title:
Regression bug: can't preseed download location
Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
For some time already we have been using preseed to specify our local
repository containing the Microsoft fonts. The main reason for this is
that we have a pretty complicated proxy environment and it's much
easier to provide the local repository directly.
So we have used those preseed entries:
ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/dlurl string http://@HOSTNAME@@DIRECTORY@/msttcorefonts/
ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula boolean true
The postinst script says it all:
# FIXME: we don't have a way to use an alternate download source here.
db_get msttcorefonts/dlurl
URLOVERRIDE=$RET
The rules file seems to generate a static URLROOT pointing to
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/ and the URLOVERRIDE is
ignored.
Our 12.04 workstations have some real issues with that. We have not
worked that around yet.
