And if I try the apt-get install or even the apt-get upgrade commands, the terminal says that flashplugin-installer is the latest version!
What does apt-cache policy flashplugin-installer return? I just realised I misspelled the package name. Sorry for wasting your time. This seems to fix things for me, but only temporarily.
I keep having to run it maybe once every two to three weeks with little changing in between I removed this file in JoKeR 6, 7 7 gold badges 40 40 silver badges 62 62 bronze badges. Fife B.

This problem is considered to be a bug of Ubuntu As bellow. The following packages requested additional data downloads after pacakge installation, but the data could not be downloaded or could not be processed.
The download will be attempted again later, or you can try the download again now. Then the fonts install without any problems! Hooray, and it's sad that Ubuntu failed to create a functional package when they could've just copied Debian's version and had it work! Ubuntu Community Ask! Sign up to join this community.

What incentive would Microsoft have to make their fonts opensource? Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Below is a temporary workaround to avoid this problem: Download all the fonts except for wd97vwr Then run the command line in your terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer with the fonts folder directed.
