I get the same error when I try to install - "ttf-mscorefonts-installer 
3.4+nmu1ubuntu2"  It seems that the installer file is missing from where 
it use to be.

Here is what it states when I look into installing the package. This 
info helps with letting people know what fonts can be used instead of 
what would be installed.  Actually, I have the fonts in my font library 
and some I keep installed, just in case.

-----------------

This package allows for easy installation of the Microsoft True Type 
Core Fonts for the Web including:

Andale Mono Arial Black Arial (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Comic Sans MS 
(Bold) Courier New (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Georgia (Bold, Italic, 
Bold Italic) Impact Times New Roman (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) 
Trebuchet (Bold, Italic, Bold Italic) Verdana (Bold, Italic, Bold 
Italic) Webdings You will need an Internet connection to download these 
fonts if you don't already have them.

NOTE: the package fonts-liberation contains free variants of the Times, 
Arial and Courier fonts. It's better to use those instead unless you 
specifically need one of the other fonts from this package.

-------------------

It is nice to see the "NOTE:" part of the info.
