For people that are affected by this issue, some things that you might
try to get your system back in shape:

A) sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

B) sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer; sudo apt-get
install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

C) sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

This is an either or list.  If one of them fixes the problem for you,
don't try the others :).  Also, if you are affected by this problem and

Title:
  package ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails to install/upgrade, left in a
  half configured state

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are many bugs which are very similar, although the exact details
  of version and error message might change, in the end they all boil
  down to ttf-mscorefonts-installer being in a broken state from which
  it's hard to recover.

  ttf-mscorefonts-installer needs to be made more reliable so that a
  failure to accept the license doesn't cause a very-hard-to-recover-
  from situation.
