Comment(by jdreed):
Cosmic bit flipping? Shortly after the zephyr discussion of this, I
kicked off an install of workstation (in VMware) and it "just worked" (and
in fact /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/README exists). I'll note
that I had also kicked off an install on granola, which also worked fine,
right before Ben installed the 790. Furthermore, the error is baffling
and should be impossible. It says `cannot create
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/README: Directory nonexistent`,
however `/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/` is shipped in the
package. So something awesome is happening on that 790, to the point that
the postinst appears to be running _before_ the package is unpacked?
