configuring ttf--mscorefonts - installer

To identify the cause of your problem it is necessary to see the exact error message.
Please open a terminal (ctrl-alt-t) and issue the following command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

(enter your password when asked so; you will not see any feedback when entering the password, not even '*' placeholders).

Then copy all output (edit - select all ; edit - copy) and paste it into a new message of this question thread.

No, I don't get an error message, I get a new small window where I can read
the following message:

Package configuration
Configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
True Type fonts for the Web EULA. Read this carefully: This Microsoft
End-User License Agreement between you and Microsoft Corporation ....(here I
skip part of the message!) ..... If you don't agree to the terms of this
EULA, you may not use the product.
                        <OK>

This window appears at the end of the download, and then everything i
locked. I cannot do anything!

Think it is bug #670629 about the problem that there is no possibility to accept the EULA under certain circumstances.

Does issuing the terminal command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

give you the possibility to accept the EULA?
Or as another try, does issuing the terminal command

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer --reinstall

help in one way or the other?

also try pressing tab+enter

Thanks to everyone who has contributed and especially to actionparsnip for the advice to try "TAB, ENTER". That solved my problem in a very simple way!!

Had this problem when installing "Lubuntu Restricted Extras". Thankfully, I found this bug report and problem solved!! However, it could leave a lot of folks dead ended. Perhaps someone would want to address this issue through the Synaptic Package Manager? Could save a lot of unnecessary headaches. Thanks, Rick

Thank you.

"TAB, ENTER" helped.

Thanks Eduardo Rodriguez! "Tab, Enter" works!!!

+1 to Eduardo Rodriguez!
"Tab, Enter" works..
