Automated work-around (no failures, no re-runs, no manual edits), 3
steps:

sudo apt-get -y remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
wget 
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
 -P ~/Downloads
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

(Mind any line-breaks in step 2 above i.e. the wget step)

Hopefully, the Ubuntu repo version will be fixed soon.
