The core issue is that ttf-mscorefonts-installer files are repeatedly failing to download, so you are repeatedly emailed about it. (The email sure could be improved.)
update-notifier handles the downloads, but the actual downloads are performed by apt-helper, and that program has trouble following redirects with spaces in the URL and handling files that already exist on the target machine. Have a look at the following bug report about that: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1655431 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641671 Title: "ttf-mscorefonts-installer: processing..." email message repeatedly from /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1641671/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
