I want to install the restricted codecs to enable .mp3 playback and so on, in Totem, I attempted to install the metapackage, ubuntu-restricted-extras but it wants to install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package.
I do not want to do this, the installer takes too long as it has to download the font archives and install them, I tried to use the ubuntu-restricted-addons package but it says I should not install it, I should install Ubuntu-restricted-extras instead.
Should I just find what packages are contained in the Restricted-extras and install those individually or is there a way to left something out of a metapackage during install?
