Today we are looking at an error you can receive, I received it often in Ubuntu 16.04 but not so much anymore in Ubuntu 18.04, but if you receive an error like this, I have a solution for you!
Here is the error message and you will find the solution below:
Failure to download extra data files
The following packages requested additional data downloads after package installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could 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.
Instructions:
Download the ttf-mscorefonts-installer manually and then install it, as seen in the video.
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
sudo apt-get -f install
