I had the same problem on 18.04. I noticed that the version it tries to install is 3.6 already, so it isn't the wrong version what's the problem here. Than I realized that apt uses ipv6 addresses...

I had the same ttf-mscorefonts problem that I have had for the past three upgrades from 14.04 to 16.04 and now to 18.04. Thanks Videonauth for a great solution.

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