can confirm this is ongoing since 15.10 till now 17.10. A possible
workaround which always works is the following:
# install it
sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
# dont purge or uninstall despite of errors, instead do the following
TMP=$(mktemp -d)
cd "$TMP"
awk '/Url/ {system("wget "$2)}'
/usr/share/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo /usr/lib/msttcorefonts/update-ms-fonts "$TMP"/*
sudo touch
/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
cd ..
rm -r "$TMP"
Hope this helps guys.
