Comment 4 for bug 349860

Hi
I'm a newbe to all this ubuntu but i like what i've seen so far, even given that from the start i've been having problems installing anything on my laptop. I use the synaptic package manager to download and install but on everything i get a error message about the ttf-root-installer. it brings up a terminal and tries to fix the problem but cant.
dos anyone no how i can fix this problem??????

I was using ubuntu along side windows and everything work just fine. then i done a full install with the ubuntu disk that i got in the mail. its the 9.04 edition.
PLEASE HELP this is driving me nuts i've gone looking on loads of forms but no joy.

Thanks for your time
Mickey

p.s the screen shot is what it tells me.
