i followed this step. there still warning (w) visible no error (e). warning this:
w: can't drop privileges downloading file '/var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/webdin32.exe' couldn't accessed user '_apt'. - pkgacquire::run (13: permission denied) but after steps mentioned in link, can see window font appear in libreoffice font selection list.
old update information dialog box still came. not sure if coming due old process or due one.
do need take more steps or fine?
regarding ttf-mscorefonts-installer thought i'd share since spent few minutes on when upgrading yakkety. experienced both the not-signed eula, lack of priviliges , hash sum mismatch, strangely not @ same time. cured :
chown _apt /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads chown _apt /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial rm /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads/partial/* apt install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer what package maintainer has key right don't know.
