This issue should not happen any longer, so I'm a bit disconcerted. What is the version table for your ttf-mscorefonts-installer package?
$ apt-cache policy ttf-mscorefonts-installer Can you confirm that there are no font-related partial downloads in /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/ (if there are, just delete them), and that the issue you report happens when reinstalling ttf-mscorefonts-installer? $ sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer $ sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1607535 Title: ttf-mscorefonts-installer 3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 fails to install core fonts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/msttcorefonts/+bug/1607535/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
