I keep getting a pop-up:

*Failure to download extra data files*
The following packages requested additional data downloads after

not be processed.
ttf-mscorefonts-installer
The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the
download again now. Running this command requires an active Internet
connection.

Does anyone know why? Or what to do about it?
The mscorefonts installer requires the user to agree to Microsoft's
EULA, which is supposed to pop up during the installation process. What
I have found is that, with some Linux distros, the EULA pops up and with
others it doesn't. If the EULA doesn't pop up during installation, I
have gotten the error you mention.
I have no idea why it works sometimes and not others.

I get the same error when I try to install - "ttf-mscorefonts-installer
3.4+nmu1ubuntu2" It seems that the installer file is missing from where
it use to be.
Here is what it states when I look into installing the package. This
info helps with letting people know what fonts can be used instead of
what would be installed. Actually, I have the fonts in my font library
and some I keep installed, just in case.
-----------------
This package allows for easy installation of the Microsoft True Type
Core Fonts for the Web including:
Andale Mono Arial Black Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Comic Sans MS
(Bold) Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Georgia (Bold, Italic,
Bold Italic) Impact Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic)
Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold
Italic) Webdings You will need an Internet connection to download these
fonts if you don't already have them.
NOTE: the package fonts-liberation contains free variants of the Times,
Arial and Courier fonts. It's better to use those instead unless you
specifically need one of the other fonts from this package.
-------------------
It is nice to see the "NOTE:" part of the info.
