Comment #33 worked for me except I did not need to execute:
sudo mv /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer.FAILED /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/ttf-mscorefonts-installer
because, due to previous troubleshooting, I did not have any .FAILED (or .failed) files in that directory.
I'm using Xubuntu. lsb_release -a data:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial
