    Problem installing software on ubuntu from the ubuntu software center

    Hey,
    while trying to download and install software on ubuntu ( i have 9.10 ), i get this message:

    The installation or removal of a software package failed.

    I click on details, and this is what i get. It happens to me every time i try installing a software via the ubuntu software center.
    can anyone help me solve the problem? thanks!

    Try downloading the package here and double click your downloaded file to start the install.

    Re: Problem installing software on ubuntu from the ubuntu software center

    While updating ubuntu, i get this message as well:
    E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
    it seems that there's a problem with installing the mscorefonts. and for some reason, the problem stops me from installing all the other software i download from the ubuntu software center.
    PLEASE HELP!! WHAT SHOULD I DO??
