It looks like a previous install of ttf-mscorefonts-installer failed. But reinstalling it may fail because of bug 1607535, since your version of apt is apparently < 1.2.19. Try removing it completely, updating apt packages to 1.2.19, and reinstalling it:

  sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

If you don't want to upgrade your whole system, use "install apt-transport-https" instead of "dist-upgrade" to upgrade only specific packages. The fix is in apt-transport-https, but you may want to upgrade all upgradeable APT packages for consistency: you can find them with "apt list --upgradable apt\*".
