Erro ao executar: apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Question

Estou tentando instalar as fontes do MS Core no Ubuntu 14.04 LTS e estou com o seguinte erro:

vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ttf-mscorefonts-installer : Depends: cabextract but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

A execução de dpkg --get-selections | grep hold não retorna nada e não consigo encontrar um pacote no apt-get chamado cabextract .

De tudo que pesquisei no Google, a instalação das fontes do MS Core é relativamente direta, por isso estou um pouco perdido. Como posso resolver esse problema e instalar as fontes principais?

Editar:

Aqui está o meu arquivo /etc/apt/sources.list

Answer 1

cabextract está no repositório universe , se você atualizar seu /etc/apt/sources.list:

#############################################################
################### OFFICIAL UBUNTU REPOS ###################
#############################################################

###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse

###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse

Em seguida, execute

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install

O

apt instalará o cabextract para atender às dependências do ttf-mscorefonts-installer parcialmente instalado. Se isso não funcionar, tente sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer novamente.
