Comment 10 for bug 1649203

On xenial I've installed apt 1.2.19 which should fix bug #1651923 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1651923/comments/58):

$ dpkg -l apt | grep '^ii'
ii apt 1.2.19 amd64 commandline package manager

But when I try to install ttf-mscorefonts-installer, I still get the error reported in this bug:
