[Bug 979477] [NEW] ttf-mscorefonts-installer installation popup and probable failure

[Thomas Bushnell, BSG]

Public bug reported:

Recently we see the following when ttf-mscorefonts-installer is
installed, after accepting licensing terms, a popup appears with the
following contents:

The following packages requested additional data downloads after package
 installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be
 processed.
 .
 .
   ttf-mscorefonts-installer
 .
 .
 The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download
 again now.  Running this command requires an active Internet connection.

It happens repeatedly if you do  apt-get install --reinstall ttf-
mscorefonts-installer.

Something is wrong in the move of the download from
/usr/lib/msttcorefonts/update-ms-fonts to wherever it is supposed to
live now.
