Also affects 16.04
#45 no more solution (at least, to me) - same failure as installing directly from Ubuntu repo.
Workaround:
1) Download .exe from sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/)

2) Purge & reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer (let it fail)
3) dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer
4) The command line will prompt for an optional path where the fonts have already been downloaded - if any. Type in the path where you downloaded the fonts from sourceforge and there you are!
