Having issues with ttf-mscorefonts-installer, why?

[Guest]

I am new to kubuntu, but have used other ubuntu based distros before. I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04 32bit on an old iMac (2006 iMac, core 2 duo, 3gb ram, 250gbHD), everything works fine (i ignore the fact that it takes long to boot up, and if I were using an lxde distro, that wouldn't be the case) except for one thing, after running updates, I get a message telling me that "data files for some packages could not be downloaded" it tells me something is wrong with ttf-mscorefonts-installer. I tried sudo apt-get remove ttf-mscorefonts-installer as well as purge, then re-installing it, no luck, I still get the same error message each boot up. I ended up just uninstalling it and not re-installing, but again, I keep getting that message.

What can I do?

Tell a bit more

- Could you show the exact error message ?
- At what stage you get the error ?
(as example my installation output: http://pastebin.com/n9avdq56 )

- Do you get the Eula(s) ?




Something to try

Try to clean the apt cache:

sudo apt-get clean

Update the package database:

sudo apt-get update

Install:

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

With the logsave:

logsave Install-log.txt sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

man logsave

Well this forum wont let me add a link or photo because I am new to it, rather unfair. I might come back to Kubuntu some other time. I am taking a break with it for now. I liked it, but I am using Xubuntu LTS now. (I may not even keep that, it seems that LXDE is the best match for this old machine)

Many forums have this kind of limit, thank you spammers ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic) ) - workaround: you could post something to the 'Social/Casual Talk'.
