failed to fetch andale32.exe on upgrade

[craigus 6]

I couldn't find reference to this with a forum search, so sorry if it is a known thing.

 

Just did an apt-get upgrade after update, and got this error:

 

 

Failed to fetch https://vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/thefont

s/final/andale32.exe 400  Bad Request

 

Otherwise, everything seems OK and the upgrade worked.

Just for the record, this is a known issue.

 

A "patch" was developed by Ylee. If you are interested see HERE

 

dist-upgrade performs the same things as upgrade + a bit more: it has permission to remove or add packages that are not mentioned as dependencies but are in the install script for the package. Doing it this way does not happen often, but at occasions it is very useful. So results are more complete then when using only upgrade.

 

Enjoy,

Charles

It seems you maybe have wine installed and the font that is attempting to be downloaded. Bad Request seems to indicate just that. The link provided is somehow wrong. As long as you don't need to font that is failing to install you should be golden. Also, you should probably do a dist-upgrade instead of only upgrade. dist-upgrade does not install bits that would move you from 3.2.1 to 4.3.1 or anything of the sort. Charles has mentioned what dist-upgrade does many times. I just don't recall exactly.

Hello Charles

 

Will he see the link? Nevertheless it is under development section...
