Since the latest upgrade I have been getting a warning pop-up saying "Failure to Download". The package at issue is "ttf-mscorefonts-installer". Try to fix the problem through Terminal but no go so far. Otherwise everything seems okay.
Solutions anyone?
TIA

Have you got the fonts downloaded, you should have Andale Mono, Arial Black, Arial, Comic Sans MS, Courier New, Georgia, Impact, Times New Roman, Trebuchet, Verdana and Webdings ?
Try..
sudo touch /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
If that fails I'd suggest purging the package and installing the 3.6 version of the package.
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb -P ~/Downloads
will download the package to your Downloads folder, and
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
will install the package.

The location of the fonts store has been changed on the sourceforge server
