1 year ago I found a solution. Looks like the installer uses some "non free" packages. I had to add additional sources to /etc/apt/sources.list to get the installer to work:
standard:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main restricted universe deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main restricted universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu bionic partner deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted
added to get installer to work:
deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates universe deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates multiverse deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security universe deb http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security multiverse
For some reason, when I try ot run this installer on a VPSCITY fresh ubuntu 18.04 LTS or an ubuntu 20.04 LTS image, I get the following error: E: Package 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' has no installation candidate.
Any ideas how to fix?
If I try manually installing this package, I get:
$ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package ttf-mscorefonts-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'ttf-mscorefonts-installer' has no installation candidate
