The mscorefonts installer requires the user to agree to Microsoft's 
EULA, which is supposed to pop up during the installation process. What 
I have found is that, with some Linux distros, the EULA pops up and with 
others it doesn't. If the EULA doesn't pop up during installation, I 
have gotten the error you mention.

I have no idea why it works sometimes and not others.
