Ubuntu解决无法删除msttcorefonts的问题

解决方法:修改 /var/lib/dpkg/info/msttcorefonts.prerm
                把set -e改为set -x就能顺利卸载
改好后执行:sudo apt-get remove msttcorefonts

如果没找到/var/lib/dpkg/info/msttcorefonts.prerm

终端运行sudo aptitude purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer ubuntu-restricted-extras


问题陈述如下:
本想装一个字体包msttcorefonts,装到一半因为源里没有相应文件而失败。结果以后每
次apt-get都会自动继续msttcorefonts的安装...导致其他软件都无法安装。我试了dpkg-re
configure -a,apt-get remove ,apt-get -f -m都会出同样的错误。
