I keep on getting this error when installing ttf-mscorefonts-installer

NOTE:


I have already tried the the solution suggested in here (http://askubuntu.com/questions/525865/failure-to-download-extra-data-files-flashplugin-installer).
This is a FRESH install and I have not added any PPA or whatsoever prior to this issue.
The package (ttf-mscorefonts-installer) is present on Synaptics and I already tried re-installation and still error pops-up.
I already tried changing the server download location to my Country to Main server.
I am not using any custom firewall setup, proxy server and VPN.
I have a stable Internet connection. (Tried both wired and wireless connection)

Please try the following in a terminal window, one command at a time
sudo dpkg -P ttf-mscorefonts-installer
sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
Use the Tab and Enter keys to accept the EULA in the Microsoft TrueType core fonts window that pops up.

Hmmm. Just wondering why all the downloaded fonts was gone after performing the
sudo dpkg-reconfigure command?
