Hello,
I don't know what happened, but I need help.
Here is the message that appears when I try to install from the Ubuntu Software Center.
It seems that there is a software error in aptdaemon, the program that allows you to install and remove software and any other tasks related to package management.


Further down in the details, there is this message

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 968, in simulate
trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 1092, in _simulate_helper
return depends, self._cache.required_download, \
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 235, in required_download
pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate a file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package.

I don't know what to do anymore. Thank you in advance for your responses, I am using Ubuntu Desktop 11.10
Configuration: Linux / Safari 534.34

Your problem seems to be addressed here :
http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=758731

In general, when an error occurs in Linux, don't hesitate to copy and paste the error message into Google, because you are rarely the first person to encounter the issue. Otherwise, or if you are stuck, the forum is of course at your disposal ;-)

Good luck

I solved my problem by reinstalling aptdaemon from the Synaptic package manager. Thanks again for the link, it helped me fix my issue.
