Ok, we need to restore the file /etc/defoma/hints/ttf-liberation.hints then.

Firstly extract the hints file with the command!
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile /var/cache/apt/archives/ttf-liberation_1.04~beta2-2_all.deb | tar xvf - ./etc/defoma/hints/ttf-liberation.hints

This will extract the file ./etc/defoma/hints/ttf-liberation.hints . Then put this file into /etc/defoma/hints/
You should now be able to purge or reinstall the package ttf-liberation.

If /var/cache/apt/archives/ttf-liberation_1.04~beta2-2_all.deb is not there, then download it with:
sudo apt-get -d install --reinstall ttf-liberation

Hope this helps.
