Solved this with 
sudo -s 
apt-get  --reinstall install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Looks like running apt-get with sudo does not get the proxy definition, see 
sequence: 
$ env | grep http 
http_proxy=http://proxy.telia.se:808

$ sudo env | grep http 
<no output>

$:~$ sudo -s 
# env | grep http
http_proxy=http://proxy.telia.se:808

when logging in as root the proxy is back .
