未能下载额外的数据文件 – ttf-mscorefonts-installer

问题描述

这是一个值得修正错误的老问题，但现在已经超越了一个笑话，我似乎无法解决这个问题。

我不断收到有关ttf-mscorefonts-installer的可怕failed To download extra data files错误：

反复要求它再试一次也无济于事，此外，

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

也不工作。我只是从其中一个sourceforge链接中至少得到一个404错误，

它未能下载的具体点发生了变化 – 它似乎是一个源代码可靠性问题，但现在这个过程已经持续了几个星期，并且最终导致恼人的弹出窗口。

我们如何解决这个问题以及/或者我现在应该如何解决这个问题。

最佳解决办法

Launchpad错误＃1607535 #1651923固定在适用于Xenial和Yakkety的Apt的“updates”存储库中。

1. 如果您使用的是Ubuntu Xenial或更高版本(16.04+)，请确保已启用“updates”存储库并更新存储库信息和软件包：sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -f
这会告诉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. 如果固定版本不适用于您的Ubuntu发行版，则可以下载不受此bug影响的Debian版本的ttf-mscorefonts-installer，并使用Software Center或on the 命令行进行安装。

次佳解决办法

如果遇到同样的问题，在网络中找到了适合我的解决方案，则其他”solutions”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
