package from debian repo 3.6_all works fine, but this, 3.6ubuntu2, is
crap and it is not working.

Hello Dan,

additional you can set the older version to hold:

sudo apt-mark hold ttf-mscorefonts-installer

That prevents further updates.

I hit this bug today under Ubuntu MATE 17.10 x64.

The workaround for me was:

wget 
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.6_all.deb

[Norbert]

The last working version was this:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/

I think it fails with this change:

msttcorefonts (3.6ubuntu1) artful; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian Sid. Remaining changes:

->- Ubuntu preinst and postrm scripts have deltas.

- Source the debconf confmodule before doing anything else in the preinst.
- Move #DEBHELPER# substitution before preinst code that might exit.
- Migrate to use an update-notifier hook, so that package data can be
  handled asynchronously and not cause install failures on network
  problems.
- Add missing pre-depends for use of debconf in preinst.
- Convert to dh(1).
- Skip race between update-notifier and update-ms-fonts trying to delete
  the same files from the same locations.

This is a bug in Debian too, I think it should be fixed there
