[Bug 1719863] Re: ttf-mscorefonts installer error on 17.10

[Videonauth]

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.
