Hi,

I recently upgraded from zesty to artful, but I'm having a problem with ttf-mscorefonts-installer. I get a popup every few minutes:


Failure to download extra data files

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.

When I run sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer the issue becomes clear:

It seems the file on SourceForge was updated yesterday, causing an error. I'm just using official Ubuntu repos, no PPAs:

Anyone know how to fix this or what to do? Thanks in advance :)

sudo apt-get remove --purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Then in a terminal run:


sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer #(this will fail again most likely)

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

That should give you a "graphical" interface in the terminal.

Then point to the directory with downloaded files like /home//Downloads/mscorefonts

All 11 fonts downleded and pointed to folder/directory [ mscorefonts ] will be installed.
