report doesn't quote the "/the fonts/" URL directly, but it links to a
comment that does.
I have a bug report (bug #1575408) against ttf-mscorefonts-installer due
to the "Can't drop privileges" warning, but am assuming that that

I only had that whily trying to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
The problem appeared after upgrading from 15.10 gnome-ubuntu flavour to its
16.04 LTS version (amd64)
I solved the problem by downloading (manually) the 3.6 version of
ttf-mscorefonts-installer from debian
I got this bug trying to download the linux source, fixed it with the
following line (which was posted in this bug's duplicate thread):
sudo chown _apt /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/

Check to see if you have an _apt user:
cat /etc/passwd | grep apt
_apt:x:105:65534::/nonexistent:/bin/false
If you do, no need to add the user. Otherwise,
adduser --force-badname --system --home /nonexistent --no-create-home
--quiet _apt || true
I haven't verified that it creates precisely

No, it isn't. The referenced link says that it is no longer supported by
Chrome, but that doesn't mean flashplugin-installer is

Michael and I don't have any different opinion here at all. You are
complaining about root/.synaptic/tmp//tmp_cl - which is owned by
