I tried: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I got this output:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 ttf-mscorefonts-installer
 msttcorefonts
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried: sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer 2.6

I got this message:

E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

I unistalled and reinstalled in synaptic as per your kind suggestion. I got this message, which I get each time I do
upgrades:

E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: msttcorefonts: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

I assume future upgrades or next distribution will sort it out as I have no idea how to fix it.

Thank you anyway!
