Bug Description

Ubuntu 16.04

Every day a popup pops up with the message that the ttf-mscorefonts-installer download fails and offers me a dialig if want to retry the download now.
If I choose yes it will fail again.

I read in another bug report to do this on the shell for more information:
  sudo /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader

The following is partially translated from another language:
