Package: ttf-root-installer
Version: 5.18.00-2.3~lenny1(lenny)5.24.00-1(sid)

Its function is downloading and installing the fonts provided by Microsoft,
in fact, these fonts are known as Microsoft True Type Core Fonts for the Web .
But there also have another package that has the same functionality,
it's ttf-mscorefonts-installer,
exists in lenny,squeeze and sid.

I suggest that cancel the one of them.

These packages are _not_ duplicate. The fetch the font-files from
different places, and those files are different. ROOT cannot -
unfortunately - use the font-files from the ttf-mscorefonts-installer
package.

Unfortunately that's not really an option.
